My nickname came to be after I bought a 'strawberry' iMac G3 for $20 from a student at my place of study and rode home with it on the bus. :P

The model had a PowerPC processor of 333mhz. A cute ol' machine. To elaborate further, I adore the iMac G3 and iBook Clamshells.

My nickname stems from my please of being an anon on the Internet.  Not for any legal reasons but the Internet can cause utter madness in people which I've seen countless times so I just sit from the confines of my keyboard and mouse, smile, and watch.

No I'm not crazy, I'm just well aware of what the Internet can do.
:D

For me:

Pooky: my nickname from my dad when I was little :)

Mac: it's the computer platform I work on all day and love :P

Man: I am a man (male, whatever) :D

Thus the nick is born: PookyMacMan! :trumpet:

spain treated puerto rico with less respect than cuba due to its size for sugar output.
they could care less about puerto rico back then... once gold was drained.. dump it.
(columbus is a perfect example.. he was jailed by the queen)

hackmymac= hack - cause like everyone else I like to hack things apart. O/clock, mod, make things work on things the should. my - I own the gear, bought and paid for (sorry didn't have anything better to say for it) mac - well we all like to play with MAC OS here don't we?

side note, apparently there is a web site with my handle, which I own found out about the other day.

Avatar= I like the Godsmack album IV, and someone else on this site had the same avatar just with there name in it.

Thats it, really original :blush:

I was getting tired of "Sorry, this name is already taken." or some variation thereof. I haven't seen that yet with "instant idiot." Also, I like being able to say "Just add water!" randomly.
