In ancient times, during the era of DOS (Disk Operating Systems), floppy disks really were floppy; and file names were required to consist of eight characters or fewer.  I had labeled a disk “sryandra” short for “S. Ryan, Drive A:.”  I thought that Sryandra sounded like a cool name, but too much like a girl’s name, so I put a “ck” at the end of it.  Hence the nickname Sryandrack.

I can even remember farther back, using a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor at my local High School back in the 1970’s on a time share computer system where it would take several minutes just to enter one line of code written in the BASIC or ForTran programming languages.  The wonders of Technology!
