Yeah, mine's a tough one kinda like Franc's. Of course, my real name is Tom. The 2112 part comes from an album of the same name "2112" by my favorite band, Rush. I've been using Tom2112 for many years as an online handle, from waaaaaaaaaay back in the online BBS and CompuServe days (can you say 2,400 baud?). I wanted to register as Tom, but it was already taken, and the system recommended "Tom" with a number. So I ignored the number it gave and put in my own. The rest is history.
