Befoe the dawn of wimble's history (well 1990ish anyway), undergrads all had accounts on black - the system had its wings clipped in a number of ways, the details of which I don't recall as I never had a black account. The postgrads and staff had accounts on the ?gandalf starmaster vax cluster or somesuch techno-babble. About 1992/3 black was killed off, and replaced by sable [spot the cunning play on words], a few months after the postgrads and staff were migrated to ermine and all our e-mail addresses changed from '[vax login id]@vax.ox.ac.uk' to '[real.name]@[dept/college].ox.ac.uk'.
