Yes Bill - Geocities was taken over by Yahoo. On Geocities I was just "aussiebug" but when yahoo took over it would not let me continue with that handle so I had to become "aussiebug1970" - which refers to the year of my first bug - which, as mentioned above, I still own :-) It's not my birth year as some might think - got to go back to the dark ages of 1949 for that one!
