The Legend of How Cheshire Got Named
"Ozzie"
While Richard Cheshire was attending a college in western New
York state, he knew more about the computer than the system
administrator. However, the SysAdmin insisted that people call
him a Wizard, even though Chesh knew more than this clown about
the system. Chesh could derive solutions just by following the
logic of the problem (a talent that has made him a "dangerous
character" to many agencies). Since the SysAdmin didn't like
anyone but him being called the System Wizard, Chesh was called
"The System Oz" (the references being to the Frank Baum book, and
MGM movie, "The Wizard Of Oz"). This became "Ozzie" pretty
easily.
