Your Username - why & what does it mean?

[CRAIGC540]

I saw this on the Mach-E forums and thought it was cool.

Craig540 I have used for my logins on forums and email since the early 90's when I built my first home computer.
My first email address was from AOL and they needed letters and numbers so I used my name and the size of my hard 540mb hard drive I had just installed. I also had a floppy drive installed.
I bet there's a few young people that never heard of AOL?
[email protected].. same at Yahoo, Hotmail, msn and google.
On forums I usually drop the second C to Craig540.

Years ago I was leaving on a camping trip with a friend. It was pouring rain and freezing. My mom said "if you're going camping in this you must be the village idiot". I dropped the o when creating a screen name at some point.

Self explanatory. Added the 1 because I dropped my pen signing up and it hit the 1 digit on my keyboard so I went with it.
