My wife didn't found it funny... it must be that the japanese humour sense is different than the western one. |

it's funny 'coz in the eighties EVERYONE would choose a nick with the word SOFT in it. That was common practise... hell even I started out as... shadowsoft.. haha. really! took me about a year to realize that it would sound better withouth the softie part.

I think the 'soft' extension is just an excuse for a lousy first name .. like, anything sounds good with 'soft' attached to it.. |

I started out as Birdsoft. I liked the Eaglesoft name very much, and names like Sparrowsoft appeared too, so I thought 'Birdsoft' would rule
The only thing I did under the Birdsoft name was send in some game tips to MSX Gids I think... |

maybe bill gates never intended to have an global monopoly and wanted to remain a small (micro) software company? |
