WorldCom wants you to move to MAE-East-ATM, eventually moving everyone to
their new facility in Ashburn VA.
I think/hope most people will just move to PAIX-VA or Equinix-VA, or both.
I tried to think of a good parody of American Pie for this occation, but I
didn't want to stretch FDDI to end in a long-I, so I'm just gonna go with:
Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead. Now if only they'd kill off ATM too.
