My Dad's name was Harold,

My grandad was also named Harold . I inherited it as my middle name .

 

[GeneT45]

Well, my name is Gene, and my surname begins with "T". (I'd post my whole name, I'm not ashamed, except that these days it seems prudent not to... The "45" part will resonate with handgunners...

My avatar? I picked the "pirate penguin" years ago, for no better reason that to identify myself across boards, in the face of other "genet"'s.

[Chip Hacket]

My username, 'Chip Hacket'. Back in the day, I was a member of an electronics bulletin board and went by this name because I was working with 7400 series chips and sort of 'hacked' them together. These days, I'm making metal chips in the shop and still sort of hacking things together in my own way. My real name is Mike. My avatar was taken of me on the job.
