- Actually, there is. For about $35,000 you can buy a vax of your own,
- and you can call yourself anything you want.
-
- Somewhat less expensive options include asking the system manager.

- If this is a real problem for you, you might consider getting a mail
- account on another machine (there are some commercial services that do
- just that) and have that machine forward the mail to the name you don't
- like (presuming that the VMS host is the machine you prefer to use).
