About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Bove is just a shortened version of my last name.

I first started using the Internet when I entered college in 1993. Back then, my school had email and we also had access to Telnet and Kermit. Email was what really converted me.
