My first handle ever was MTG on early arcade-games like Defender or Scramble. It was built of the initials of the girl i loved then, MT, and my own ones, TG. Most games allowed only 3 characters, so i merged them together.
Then in the BBS-years some friends gave me the name "helldriver", cause i was one of the guys driving too fast everytime i was on the road. This ended up in wrecking first my Mom's car, later my own one.
When signing in on my friens first BBS (on Amiga), i didn't like helldriver for its bad sounding touch. So i called myself Speedy.
Later on the internet i found out, that Speedy is used very often, so i added my year of birth to it. That's it 'til now.
For serious conversation i have the email thgabel, which is put together from my real name.

cheers, Thomas

BTW: I never got MT as my girlfriend, she was so beautiful, hundreds of guys were running after her...
But i loved her out of the distance.
