Began using this name years ago at AVS Forum when I was really into video editing & production, and just carried it over to MR.
 
I chose this name because my first name is Anthony and I'm 43 by now, so I guess I'm a bit older than most of you guys :cool:
 
Then you'll have people asking *you* why that's *your* username in 10-15 years...
 
mine is merely because it had been one of my screennames since I was in 7th grade or so (whenever the internet took off)

was already well into college when I joined the site and it wasn't duke
 
I chose mine because I was such a big fan of the G4 CPU with the Velocity Engine. I'm still fond of it though have no important use for a G4 anymore. Of course at the time I had no idea I would post more than a question or two.
 
Z is the first letter of my first name (Zach) and Whaler is named after the Boston Whaler boat company.
 
Most of the names I tried were already taken, so I decided to you with a generic name, the 45 was allocated by the MR bot as being the next number that was unused.

I've never really considered them that important, but I think my avatar says enough about me.
 
Well i have an afro and my name is Anthony so i took 'ant' from anthony and made "afroAnt".
 
because my real name starts with mar as well and the 1111 because that was given to me by a bot on a different forum and i found it easy to remember.
