What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
Nickname from handle I chose when I BBS'd back in High School.
Started BBSing at 2400bps on a Mac Classic, at first with a terminal that didn't even have ANSI. Eventually upgraded to an Acer/Acros 486DX/2 (Sweeeet) and ran my own board with some friends, "The Wormhole" (218).
Started using the internet a little bit in high school, 1995 or so, then the web on a regular basis in college in '96.
Anyone else remember all those great "Doors"? BRE? SRE? LORD? Usurper? And although it wasn't quite a door, VGA Planets.
