This event will occur at 5pm, 25 May 1990 CE; +the soon-to-be-deceased is MC.LCS.MIT.EDU, a KS10 (aka DEC-2020). A wake +will be held 4-6pm in the 8th floor playroom of NE43, with refreshments of +an appropriate nature. If you plan to attend, please let us know; we would +like something vaguely approximating a head count for our caterer. + +Actually, we don't consider this the death of ITS. We like to think that +we're putting ITS into cryonic suspension until the world is ready for it. \ No newline at end of file
