Re: Explain your name
Back in the original days of PC's and when I worked for a company that used computers I had time to read my favorite type of reading material. Science fantasy books. I read a great set of books written by Piers Anthony. It was called the "Adept" series. It was a series of books about two parallel worlds, one of the worlds was a "magical" one with wizards (color coded with the hero being the blue one), the other world was a scientific computer using world with "gamemasters". Well anyway The word "adept" is a fairly uncommon word with a good meaning and a positive type of title so as I read about the Blue Wizard and Stile (the gamemaster) who were at random times "swapping" lives I of course thought that "this could be me" and since they were both titled "Adepts" I imagined myself to be an Adept and since passwords need a number also I became the "Adept1". My vanity license plate reads the same. I heartily recommend that if you enjoy a great reading adventure to try out the "Apprentice Adept" series written by Piers Anthony as it impressed me enough that I was no longer a Hobbit, I was an Adept.
And since I'm on a book recommending jaunt I need to bring up the second most impressive "fantasy series" books I've ever read. "The Dragonriders Of Pern" by Anne Mccaffery. This set starts with a three book set and has expounded to about 10 -15 different aspects of the same story about a fantasy world where Dragons are "linked" at birth telepathically to their matched human. The dragons have the ability to "teleport" themselves and their rider and I promise you a thoroughly engrossing story with many different facets to entertain.
Dammit I wish I had the time to reread BOTH of these entire sets and then time to revisit Lord of the Rings and a few hundred other books for fun and a few hundred more for the educational value.
