Where did you username come from?

Lady Fitzgerald was my stage name back when I worked Renaissance Festivals. I portrayed a brash, disenfranchised Irish noblewoman. Even now, more people know me as Lady Fitzgerald than as Jeannie.

Mine originated back in the "Qlink" days (which is now AOL). I had a TTC Corp "Fireberd" T1 link tester/Bit Error Tester (Device) at work. When I first signed up for Qlink and entered a user name my Daughter suggested "firebird" but it was already in use so I went with the "fireberd". I've used it ever since.

As a side note, when I first got on Qlink it was with a Commodore VIC 20......

I remember Q-link (I used a Commodore 64C back then). One reason I will have nothing to do with AOHell is, when they bought Q-link, they abandoned it and, without any maintenance, if quickly became unusable and I had no choice but to quit it. AOHell bought up a lot of the smaller BBBs around then and deliberately abandoned them.

Mine is just my name.

Indianatone...They called me Tone for short from Tony or Anthony and I moved from England where I was called Big Tone as I was bigger (6ft tall) than Little Tone (Tony 5ft 5) and I moved to Indiana from Northern Cambridgeshire. England. The ATV badge is a long gone TV station in England that we used to get when we lived in Nottingham and Banbury but lost when we moved to Huntingdon. I put up a huge aerial and picked up an entertainment quality signal in the towns I lived in till I moved to Peterborough where once again I received ATV now Central TV with a superb signal. I left England before all the digital nonsense and ITV restructuring occurred.

It's just a binary thing!!!!

We have digital TV here. Analogue went away mostly in 2010. HD signals and SD signals all in 1 and 0.....Some low power relays, religious stations still broadcast in analog along with some low power school and college stations.
I use Windows 7 to record the Big Bang Theory and other stuff in HD.

Do I really have to describe where I got my handle? :)

Actually, my career was all computers, business management and consulting. Antique and Classic cars was a hobby ever since I could lift a wrench but my career allowed me to "tinker" with cars. Since then, I've turned my hobby into a small business that's keeps me busy. I restore and/or build cars now. The current project is replicating a rare 1921 Mercury Speedster body. I'll be making three for a customer but I may make one for myself too.
