Where did you nickname come from?

[Menticol]

While checking the forum and falling asleep on the keyboard, that dumb question came to my mind...

In my case, "Menticol" is a brand of cheap minty spray lotion, very useful when mosquitoes attack on tropical climates. The exagerated menthol smell deserves an NFPA warning label. Don't know its relationship with electronics

What about yours?

Well.. probably siong likes to eat banana

*siong is my name.

 

[picbits]

Mine is my company name.

 

[Mikebits]

Mike was taken.

[JimB]

Around 1971 I needed a user name to login to a college computer*, so I just contracted my name (Jim Butler) to JimB, and I have been using JimB as a Nom de Guerre ever since.

*The computer was a PDP10 mainframe with a whole load of printing terminals, not quite as crude as a teletype but not far off by todays standards.
