    Tonight I changed my name on my computer to my female name. I only changed my display name. If I change my user id. It will be break all my RSA private/public key pair. Which really is not a big deal, but I use my RSA public key to log into my systems at work. Our security folks would notice the ID name change on the key. And I'm just not ready to explain it to them them.

    But for now when I log into my computer. It shows my name as Meeka and the icon is a flower. :grin:
