Wow! I had no inkling so many folk would answer my humble little question. Thanks to all of you.
And Molly, yes I have read the Burning Chrome trilogy ... if Neuromancer had been filmed shortly after publication, I think Sigourney Weaver would have made a great razorgirl ... maybe a bit late for her now tho lol

We've all seen the various weird and wonderful ID's we all have. Ever wondered where they come from?

Igor Olman is a fictional character in a favourite webcomic of mine, www.dorktower.com. Here's his description:
"To Igor, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. He throws himself into every new game, comic, craze, hobby and pastime with an overwhelming enthusiasm that has made him the official poster boy for Reckless Abandon. As the Power Gamer's Power Gamer, Igor Olman is a die-hard, take-no-prisoners action junkie. He is a god to min-maxing RPG munchkins everywhere, and a gamemaster's worst nightmare."
