Thanks for the history of DOS, KJC. About bestowing nick names.

In Brazil every one has a nickname from Presidente of the Republic Luis Inciao da Silva "Lula".

Do you know Edson Arantes do Nascimento? No, I guess. He's "Pele".

Gustavo Kuerten Is "Guga". Emerson Fittipaldi "Rato"
And so it goes to a point that when you chose the name of your child you avoid the ones that would give a nickname you don't like!!!!

We are used to it.
