When it comes to computers, Unix is and was my first choice - Windows was an afterthought for me (my very first home PC ran SCO Unix, not DOS.) Since most folks in and around the Quake2 Weapons Factory MOD forums knew about this little *ix fetish of mine (especially WRT Linux), I had gotten the name "Penguinisto" to replace my old moniker "Spark" (short for 'spark-chaser' - a common slang term for electronic engineers like I had once been :) So why not "Tux" or something like that? Well, it's like this: Even today, a true linux afficianado usually refers to him- or herself as a "Penguinista" ( a munge-up of the term "Zapatista" that certain Latin revolutionaries took on for themselves in semi-recent history...) However, looking at the Spanish way of names (names ending in "..a" are feminine, while those ending in "..o" are masculine), I figured the term "Penguinista" is a bit too feminine-sounding for my taste, especially when I was toting around a rocket launcher :) (For those who may not know, Linux' mascot is a Penguin... he's a cute little critter too, according to the missus.) So to make a long story short, the WF community pretty much decided that I would be better off with my current nickname, and it just sort of stuck. Most folks there just call me "Peng" for short; it saves keystrokes. My real name: Thos. J Miller jr. /P
