Why did you choose to use the username you have? I went with Windows 8 because I was shocked someone else hadn't taken in already, and I kinda felt like having an appropriately themed username :p. (This is Windows i7 920 from SevenForums).

Been 'houtex' as long as I've been online, and that's something like 20 years now. :)

Now, I just bet you can't figure out where I live... I'll give you a hint: We have trees here. :eek:

    Retired in 2015 after working in the tech industry for 41 years. First 10 years as a Technician, the rest as a programmer/software engineer. After 1 year of retirement, I was bored so went back to work as a Robotic Process Automation Consultant. Retired for 3rd (and final) time in 2019.

:cool:

For some reason that made me think of what if someone made a browser called Chocolate, and then had a button that said, "Delete Chocolate Cookies". :p

It's all YouTube's fault. I wanted kado and 897 was assigned. Seemed simpler to use it as a handle everywhere. I would like to know who stole up to 896 though.
