Interesting thread... :) So, I was totally Internet illitterate when the major Italian phone company asked me to do the "moderator" in the first Italian chat. I had to choose a nickname. "What's a nickname?" I asked. They answered me. Big choice. I had just published my then last novel and the main character was a really cool guy, a graffiti artist whose name was Crash. So I picked this one. After a while, I got a little messed up changing ISP, Crash was already taken everywhere, so I opted for Doubling my power and here I am. :) About PC names: my Old One is named Patti (she's transexual and I thought it was a perfect name for her/his state of mind). The new one (is arriving at last, people! no more week-renders!) will be called Inter (not after Inter-net, but after my beloved Italian soccer team). Stefano
