About

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.

I first read about the internet in an issue of Computer Shopper back in the early 90s. I first started using the internet in 1993, when a small startup ISP launched in my town. What a hoot it was to connect to a gopher server in another state!
