The old server that everyone who’s ever been in my major used to use at my college is having its very own funeral. It doesn’t get much better than this:
The Mac server “Chupacabra” died peacefully on October 14, 2009 in an ITS life support facility. Although “Chupa” (as it was affectionately called) was a computer, it was nonetheless very close to our hearts in the DMA Program, and will be buried respectfully on the grounds of Lyons Hall on November 3, 2009. A funeral procession will begin at 4:30PM from Room 118 in Lyons Hall, where a reception will follow. All are welcome to attend.
Mr. Jamie O’Neil
Assistant Professor, Digital Media Arts

This is something that I would actually come back to school for but, of course, its on a day that is not suitable for people who live outside of the 2 mile expanse of Buffalo. *sigh*
I’m also fairly certain that I am the one that coined the term “Chupa.” Just sayin’.
