Why the name....Rocles ??

I get asked a lot...why the name Rocles? It goes back a long way, mid 90's...I am a licensed Radio Amateur, and way before the Internet, used to have a Packet Radio system. This was a very crude version of data transmission, where text, images, programs etc could be sent (VERY slowly!) via the radio airwaves wirelessly around the world. It used a system of "Nodes" each of which relayed to another, and another, forming a remote Network. Each Node needed an Alias. As I lived near ROChdale at the time, and i'm called LES, I put the two together, and ROCLES emerged :)

I've stuck with it as it sounds a bit musical (Roc/Rock..), so fits well with Home Recording....

So there you have it.......
