Some laptops like mine, have a fn (function) key with numbers set on the keys. If you hold alt+fn+# it still works.

As for the user name, I took German in highschool. Started playing online WWII games with allies/germans. So I wanted to choose something unique. First words that came to mind was Ich Bin which means "I am". Nothing special about it. But I get PM's and people speaking to me in German because of it every so often.

Yes mine does too.  I tried holding the alt+fn+ then the numbers and still wont work for me.   Not sure why .  Copy and paste works though.   

Do you hold them down while you're doing the numbers?

Itââ,¬â,,¢s pretty obvious that mine is my ââ,¬Ëœrealââ,¬â,,¢ name, but the nick that Iââ,¬â,,¢ve used for many years and still do on lots of sites is ââ,¬ËœBigFootââ,¬â,,¢.

It came out of my career as a Correctional Officer (prison guard) and was given to me by one of the Officers who was working for me when a female visitor for one of the inmates started a conversation with me by commenting on how big I was and how big my feet are. (6-4 & size 14) ââ,¬Â¦ and I still donââ,¬â,,¢t think of them as very big... my feet that is 

During this exchange she said, ââ,¬Å"Well you know what they say about men with big feet!ââ,¬Â
So the Officer made sure that the nick spread throughout both the staff and inmate population and it has stuck ever sense.

Not that I am the real Nikki Sixx, nonetheless a fan.

I have... rather, he has a great looking Web site- http://nikkisixx.net/.

Very nice site Nikiki.  :up:

My name came from my nieces in Scotland, they used to call me Desmond and I was looking for a nick to use, so my first name is Les, and I stuck the mond on the end. In the old days when lots of people used MIRC (I even wrote my own script for MIRC) I used Les_m_Uk, but I didn't like it too much

YEs Ich  I have tried every different way to do it.  I am on a laptop so I have to use the function key for a key pad
