Re: Name That Modular!

2002-09-24 by phaeton777

My MOTM system was indirectly named by my wife when I first brought 
home the 24 module case with only 3 modules in it. I mentioned that 
was just the start. 

"Wow...it's going to be big when it's done. Sort of the Godzilla of 
Modulars."

Hence, "Modzilla"
