Multiple Screen Names

Is it against the rules of online poker sites to have multiple screen names? Obviously if someone is playing the same cash table or tournament with multiple accounts that is cheating. However, I am simply bored of my screen name and would like to start using a new one.

I'm not sure how common this is, but PokerStars will only allow you to have one name on each computer, that is, since I already created an account on my own computer, my wife or my son would have to go to another PC to set up their account.

I'm not really sure what the purpose of this is, unless someone thinks family members or roommates would be colluding by all playing on the same computer at the same time.

I suppose that with multiple mice and monitors you could do this, but side-by-side laptops would make a lot more sense than using one computer.
