As most of you know, by fall 2004 we will have discontinued service on Oregon, the academic OpenVMS system (administrative users on Daisy and Donald are not affected).

Now would be a good time to move your email and web pages off Oregon and onto Darkwing or Gladstone. (Note that new Darkwing addresses may be shortened to the form username@uoregon.edu )

Beat the rush. It would be a good idea to migrate sooner rather than later. That way, you'll have it in time to meet publication deadlines for directory updates, as well as reprints of business cards and other official stationery. Currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff will find instructions* for migrating their mail from Oregon to Darkwing or Gladstone at http://cc.uoregon.edu/cnews/fall2002/mailmove.html
