About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

It's from early Macintosh computers. One of the 'alert beeps' you chould choose was called "Wild Eep" and would make an 'eeEEP!'-sound. It's meant to be somewhat obscure, somewhat geeky, somewhat Mac-related, and yet still be pronounceable.
