My username has mixed origins....the Betamax part comes form my oldest hobby of collecting, restoring, and learning the history of vintage electronics, but in this case the anime "Cowboy Beebop" (more speciffically the epesode "Speak Like a Child") actually caused me to want to acquire a Betamax VCR(as soon as I got a Beta deck I recorded that epesode on to Betamax :3). All that caused Betamax to be on my mind when one day I was reading comments on the h-manga here and noticed a user by the name of Master Bates. I then thought MasterBeta?....nah no one who could get the reference would, then I came up with masterBetamax and liked the pun and vailed refernece. I also had the concept of modifying the old corperate logo for the format into basically what I currently use as my avatar in my mind shortly after the name, and I found it funny enough to actually make it my avatar.
