How did you choose your nickname when you start your work at Adult Business?
My nickname is from Yahook, that was the first idea that came to my mind, I was browsing Yahook.com directory at that moment :)
Paco is a name that was dubbed to me early in life (13yoa) by some of the peeps I use to 'deal' :wink: with.
My real name, for some strange reason, is too difficult for N.Americans (Canada & USA, but the Brits have no issues with it) to pronounce, even though is phonetically correct.

Well, my nick has a long history.
In 1996 I saw film "Hackers" with Angelina Jolie.
Wow... For teenager whom I was in those far 90'th, it was amazing. Film made a big impression to me. I even cannot express, what it was. I never thought about computers and I even never saw one before this film. I think, that my emotions after film are expressed better of all in the "The Conscience of a Hacker" (http://www.phrack.org/phrack/7/P07-03 - "I made a discovery today"). Blockbusters of the last years, including Matrix, doesn't make such impression to me, probably, it because I'm already wasn't a teenager and I knew about computers already. And when I was for the first time in the Internet and I needed to register on some hack board, I registered nick Zero Cool. :)
But many guys on a board thought, that Zero Cool is a lamer nick, that's why I very soon changed my nickname to the character of the William Gibson's novel "Count Zero", but I keep a part "Zero" from my first romantic nick.
Damn Kids, your all alike.
CountZero, I like the history behind your nickname - thank you for sharing. Also, thank you for the link to Phrack - very good reading.
