I was wondering if you got your name from UHF when I first saw it. Great movie.

My friends and I use to discuss about prog in a mask, disguise of fictional prog university and we name ourselves after famous polish lawyers.
I am the Chancellor of course and my nickname is Rafał (Raphael) Taubenschlag, who was the polish greatest professor of Roman Law and Theory of Law in 20-30s - therefore RaphaelT is my PA nick.
But keep it quiet since the nicknames are the university best kept secrets!! |
Oh, that's interesting
