In the interest of internet history, isn't it the case that the official
ARPANET host name was MIT-DMS?  The Dynamic Modeling System.  Earlier it
was MIT-DMCG (e.g. RFC 475), Dynamic Modeling and Computer Graphics.
The computer was fitted with an Evans&Sutherland LDS-1 display system,
and a dozen or so fancy Imlac minicomputers working as vector graphics
terminals.

Internal to the operating system the machine name was DM, and all ITS
systems had two-letter names: there were also AI (Artificial
Intelligence), ML (Mathlab), and MC (Macsyma Consortium).
