Quoth ***Dave ...

The "first screen name" is not altogether accurate. I am sure I had an account name on the IBM 4341 at college, but darned if I can remember what it was. I'll have to see if I can dig out an old printer banner page ...

Your userid at Pomona would have been 3dhill, by analogy with my 4dnewman. I think you then had dave as your userid when you became the system programmer.

Quoth ***Dave ...

Aha!

Yes, you are right. 3DHILL (that's for Class of '83, btw -- yikes), the amazing 3-Dimensional Guy.

And, yes, once I was System Programmer, I got a Real Name.
