    "I'm in control of your network". J/K. Or am I? Jesus, people need to put some security on their networks cause I can easily hack into their router's settings or better yet take over their PC.

    "KasFam" is mine currently.

    hahaha, so unique.

    When I have more than one (I change my setup a lot) I generally have Office, Basement, Kitchen, etc. to keep things straight.

    "A-Team"

    My wife is a seamstress and has a number of different gadgets she includes in her sewing supplies, including the computer. Regardless, most, if not all, of them have A names. Audrey - Serger, Alaisea - Sewing Machine, Annabelle - Primary Computer, and Avery - Secondary Computer. Just added a G1S to the mix the other day, his name is Adrian. So the A-Team seemed appropriate.

    PitaDubs and Free_Internet. Anyone that wants to can connect to the free network, and they're kept off my computers by the routing setup I have ;)
