So I'm 'Sayer' Linux - the teller of Linux.

I use the SC everywhere - as either Siath - TheSiath - SiathLinux - Siath_Linux...
Hooray for Linux!!! What flavor do you use? I've been using Ubuntu for a while now and lately it just hasn't quite cut it for me. I got a Droid and was pissed at how much faster it was than my desktop. Just downloaded OpenSuse and Fedora to try again. I haven't used them since I decided to stay with Ubuntu 7.10.

I guess some of you linux users might know how I got my name.

My 7th gen looks like a Catfish.

Added an Adjective with the same letter as the Animal. Then came up with this goofy name.

Mine is from a plate that was on a car i raced at the drag strip my second time down, the first time i tripped a perfect light, the second time at the tree, i had my buddy in my car pointing out what i was doing right and wrong, stared at the lights changing, and then all of a sudden a mustang was yanking a wheelie right past me....needless to say i was still sitting at the tree because i forgot to go ive had the name for 10+ years now and that is how alot of people know me is by the screen name.

Kind of a funny story, and the guy with the mustang....is still a good friend of mine

Mine is something I made up years, years ago.. I was about 10 years old, and needed a nickname for my first email account.
After trying with my name (patricio) with random signs and numbers and no luck, I decided to use my real (i mean real world, as a person) nickname (pato) joint to a simple word that would fit the minimum 8 characters... 'best' sounded like cool
Since then, this has been my nickname for sooooo many things... and guess what I used when registering for maxima forums

I used to build computers as a side job, (hobby). And I always would put the biggest (Max) gigahertz hard drive and memory modules in them. I also bought my first Maxima at that time hence the name MAXGIG.

I have always wanted to start up my own performance shop. I was going to name it Maximized Performance. After I purchased my 98 maxima, I mixed the two together. I use this screen name for everything, and I love how alot of people think it means something dirty.

tcb = initials
02 = model year
max = "I live my life to the max!" or Maxima (I'll let you chose which one it really stands for)

pretty uncreative/not difficult to understand...
