Trogg is an abreviation for [ref=dict]troglodyte[/ref] which basically means A member of a fabulous or prehistoric race of people that lived in caves, dens, or holes.

This is a nickname that I acquired when I was working as en electician on high rise buildings. Unfortunately I was usually given work in the car park of these buildings or the air handling rooms and these almost always had minimal light and were cave like. Combine this with a full Grizzly Adams style beard and hair to match I looked more like a cave-man than a human.

The "computing dictionary" is a laugh though....
Troglodyte (Commodore) 1. A hacker who never leaves his cubicle.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO-HOO What a ride!"
