I too remember when everything was run off 5.25 floppies and the like. I thought it was amazing when my father's laptop could store 3 whole green and black games, AND let me type!!Diode wrote:Ah!

Yes, I am old. And, as I am old and tired, I have not been able to expend any precious energy thinking up a new and clever name. So, here I am. First initial, middle initial, last name.

I prefer the Greek name, Aphrodite, but I'm a Classics nut.Venus Pax wrote:Venus is the mythical (and fictional) goddess of love, and Pax means peace. Unless someone takes it too far, I'm generally a peaceful person and don't like fighting, violence, etc.
I also thought Pax could be funny after Venus on a gun forum, as in packs (heat), allowing one to picture the goddess of love with a handgun.
I've always been into computers and such, and since cipher describes the algorithmic mechanism which is used to encrypt data, I just phonetically swapped out a few characters.
