I think my first exposure to the idea of a corporate state was the original _Rollerball_ movie (which was also my first encounter with Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", one of my favortie classical pieces).

Yeah, it is a classic, a classic they should not have messed with. I refuse to even rent the remake.

Re: Whence Your Moniker?
Greetings...
I used to be Captain Spoogy which was named after my cat.
I became Captain Kwok after plans to make a race based on an "Adventures of Captain Kwok" story I made in elementary school.

Um, let's see, the SUN is 800,000 miles across... and Arizona is...
