Of course, my domain name is an hommage to Asimov as well:

   http://www.astro.multivax.de:8000/

The first ALPHA I had went by the name of Multivac, after the computer
in a series of tongue-in-cheek short stories (no DECnet then, so it
could be more than 6 letters).  (As someone said, you know that you are
reading old science fiction when, the farther into the future one goes,
the computers keep getting bigger and bigger rather than smaller and
smaller.)  Since the domain multivac.de was taken, I changed it to 
multivax, a pseudo-plural since by then I had more than one VMS machine 
but, as most were VAXen, it is also a reference to the VAX.
