I started in the computer business as a Unix-head. Our standard username format at the time was first initial, middle initial, last name. I guess it stuck.

Some paper pushing bureaucrat from the Witness Protection Agency made it up as an anagram of my real name. Oh wait, nevermind...move along - nothing to see here.

I live in the Great Pacific Northwest. It rains a lot. There's a lot of moss. I spend a lot of time out in the rain. Also, I was born in Jan of 1936 and my Porsche is a 1971 911T. I don't know what I'll do this January - whether to buy a '72, or just be 72 in a '71.

Well, I have a first name - Jack - for a last name. I have a last name - Wellborn - for a first name. Damned if I'd use my real name anyway, need to be somewhat anonymous amongst us Porscheoholics.... JackMan came from my kids when we started the XBox evolution in our home playing Project Gotham Racing. My turn came up to sign on, and my then 6 year old said "JackMan." It stuck.

Wellborn Jack, III

I did my surgery residency @ Medical College of Virginia to specialize in Periodontics or gum surgery.

Funny thing is I primarily do dental implants in my practice which could lead to a much more interesting user name!!!

i.e. got implants?

I'm a pretty forgetful person. Every time I forget my user name, I just rely on one of my old, favorite memory joggers:

"Happy birthday dear...."

When I lived overseas in Asia, all the Singaporean friends of mine called me Ang Moh which stands for crazy white devil with red hair. It was a racial slur in a way, but they all thought that I was just plain crazy so thats why it stuck. Oh yes, and my hair is somewhat redish..

My great-great-great-grandfather, a member of the 26th South Carolina Infantry, died at the Battle of the Crater in 1864.

A - First name Andrew
J - Middle name John
88Cab - 88 Carrera Cab

Since that was so boring I'll add- Andrew was my grandfather's name, John was my father's name. Alternates that way back at least 5 generations. It's a Greek thing!
