OK some need no explanation but some like mine came from somewhere. I have used it before and I just got done watching that wierd old movie Zardos with Sean Connery late one night and needed a user name and it kinda came to mind, only thing was it was taken so I threw in a few extra letters. How about the rest of you with interesting user names?:D

    Mine came from one of my favorite songs. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. My name is Curt, so ComfortablyCurt was born. It's the screen name I've had basically everywhere for years, so I'm stuck with it basically.

    In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?

    Vr3MxStyler2k3

    I have several MXstyler names -- no idea why. had it since 2003 -- but none the less. Vr3 stands for Version 3

    MX is the model number for my first stereo -- a JVC MX-50 (I think) shelf system -- styler just seemed to bring it all together and 03 -- of course the year!

    I use to weigh 300 lbs.(doughboy,fatboy were also nicknames,lol) so that is where my nick came from originally. Wife became pregnant and when she got the food cravings so did I; the rest is history. That was around 14 years ago and since then I have made a lifestyle change and become more healthy. The nick stayed since I added lots of muscle and bulked up. Now I am in the best shape of my life. I may be a few years away from 40, but my body feels 20 years old.

    That is SO insensitive! I'm appallingly offended.

    Interesting, are you familiar with "The Willow Group" here in Ottawa?

    http://www.thewillowgroup.com/about/index.html

    Technology (constantly changing) Kid (constantly learning)
    TECHNOKID comes from being part of technology for many years and knowing that technology changes so often, I remain a kid constantly learning no matter how old or how many years I may have in the field. Thus for me, statements such as "I have been in this field/hobby/trade for xx years" are irrelevant unless you stay in touch with the constanly changing technology. In this field; "you got to know that you know that the more you know, the less you don't know". This is a simple reminder that there is no such as a Mr. know all in technology!

    I too am canadian and yes, that is a pretty good excuse ;)

    Cheers :)
