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.

"device55" is something I came up with at a moment's notice in the heady days of the dot-bomb-boom circa 1996.

I've never regretted it.
