That is really sad. 

When my university first connected to BITNET in the late 1980s, SMSG
RSCS CMD WISVM CPQ TIME used to be in my PROFILE EXEC as an example of
the power of wide-area networking. Why Weizmann? It was the most distant
place I could find in the routing tables...8-). Throw that machine a
good wake; it served many remote requests faithfully and well. Could you
post a picture? 

Best wishes, and a long and happy retirement (and happy new year, too!),
