What is happening to Pigseye?
Pigseye has served for quite a few years as the Student and Alumni server for E-Mail and Web pages. It will continue to serve the students and alumni of Kennesaw but under a new name, Atlas.Kennesaw.Edu.

Why Atlas?
We wanted to choose a name that has both strength and historical importance. Through our research we found that one of the first computers named Atlas was developed for use by the U.S. government for work on cryptology.

"The Atlas was 38 feet long, 20 feet wide, and used 2700 vacuum tubes. Its U-shaped operations console, made up of rows of switches and lights, sat on top of an ordinary metal desk. The drum memory was 8.5 inches in diameter, rotated at 3500 rpm, and held 16,384 24-bit words. To provide fast access, the drum had 200 read-write heads. Numeric values were expressed in binary, with one bit for the sign and 23 bits for the value." For more information please see our source at Unisys History Newsletter.
