[goin' fer smoke]

When email was first coming into common use I had internet access at home but the company I worked for didn't. Architects, vendors and customers started wanting to email us at times and we had no way to recieve it so I hooked a phone line up to my work computer and brought my home account to work. Since the incoming mail could be for anyone I couldn't use my name or initials and had to come up with something generic yet at the same time I wanted it to pertain to the business we were in which was windows (the house kind). Most everything I tried for with windows in the name was already taken by MS Windows people. The only unclaimed name I could come up with was window rx (as in remedy) and the name stuck with me as my handle/screen name. I've been too lazy to come up with something different.

I am guesing now that has changed?!?!?!?!

 

[goin' fer smoke]

That really you, Window?
We used to be regulars in the chat room, and now you up and went famous what with yer coffee and all!
Good coffee, BTW.

As for my nickname -- there used to be an old BattleBot named Rhino. Tons of robots were using gasoline engines, and Rhino had this nifty tail-like thing that would get under the robots and shoot out halon. Halon pretty much kills all oxygen, so the robots would get their asses handed to them. It was so effective that they made the use of halon illegal in combat robotics. I thought halon was a pretty tight name, so I stuck with it.
That's about it for the nickname.

[carbolicsmoke]

Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. - a famous case in early english common law related to unilateral contracts. Case involved the Carbolic Smoke Ball company advertising a product for inhaling smoke like carbolic acid as an influenza remdy. As a lawyer and former part time contracts law professor I always enjoyed this zaney yet important case - and since cigars are my herbal remedy for all that ills it seemed to fit for me.
