You know you're a geek when...

Yeah the blackbook does too

When you keep your macbook in great condition, no scratches, marks on the screen etc, you then see your friends and his laptop has scratches and a dirty screen and you start trying to clean it

Yessir, except mine has a few on the case. The only vice I have with my Whitebook is the build quality of it. :(

You know your a geek when...

... you consider selling your body to get the cash for your next tech fix.

... you begin to find that anime characters actually arouse you.

... at electronics/computer stores you eavesdrop on conversations to make sure customers are being told accurate and correct information.

... more of your daily fantasies involve getting new tech stuff vs. quality time with your spouse.

... you and your partner would rather stay home on a Friday night and play PS3 rather than go out on the town.

... your idea for the greatest fight in history would be to have Steve and Bill face off in a cage/death match.

... you've considered starting a support group for others like you who fit the criteria for addiction/abuse in relation to your interaction/dependence upon technology

... going without internet access for more than 24 hours leads to serious withdrawal symptoms and negative side effects

... you have a variety of pocket protectors to coordinate with your wardrobe

OMG sooooo many times I just want to jump in and save them from the sales rep.
 
When you find yourself in Bestbuys checking out a wireless mouse, but you end up help a nice older lady and her son buy a MacBook. :rolleyes:

Been there, done that. But I wasn't looking at a mouse, I was using the macs, happened to use some shortcuts, expose, dashboard, stuff like that and they asked me for help, BANG they bought it there, pretty quick.

I have to admit it takes every ounce of my strength to not get involved and sometimes I lose the battle and find some way to insert myself in the conversation. I can't stand seeing someone get bad information.

I got really mad at alec when he put a mark on my screen. I almost made him replace it.

My screen is cleaner than dad's laptop he got 2-3 months ago and I have not cleaned my screen this whole year.

Your home router isn't a LinkSys or Airport Extreme like everyone else. It's a Cisco 2800 series.

You have an 8 port switch. And ran out of open ports.
Click to expand...

24 port commercial switch with less than 8 ports free. 2 servers and ethernet ports in every room where there is a computer that isn't a laptop (although I plug my PB into ethernet at my desk and there is no desktop in the room) The only thing you want for christmas/birthdays is Macs or parts for Macs

You ask for a IPS panel and nobody knows what it is. You actually care how much RAM you have free and then complain that you do not have enough / your computer will not support more.

You can remember your graphics card model number/RAM amount/type of outputs.

You care about just 54 vertical pixels that your computer has over someone else's.

Even one server is pretty geek :eek:
Click to expand...

I need another! The 2 we have already are PC and I need a Mac server. With Leopard server (which costs more than the computer it would be running on) Too bad the computer I would run it on is dead. Dumb iBook logic board issues.

You would rather watch TV on your laptop than your TV because the TV is lower resolution. (yes my PB's screen is higher resolution than every TV in my house and the PB is 1280x854.) But really TV is not as entertaining as MacRumors.

They couldn't, I'm 14 :( People like my style, what can I say? They should have undercover employees, that would be cool.
 
when you wish slightly that mac osx would slow down after a while like windows so you could do a fresh install of the OS to speed things up a lot, just for fun.

I've actually been kicked out of a best buy for getting between a customer and a rep to ask him why he was PURPOSELY lying to the customer.

She thanked me in the parking lot:)

It gets the most difficult for me during the Xmas season. When I see parents trying to decide what games or consoles to get their kids for Xmas and I'm not sure if the rep is trying to take away Xmas from the family or what.

You're not very nice to your friends, are you? My friend knocked my laptop off a desk and the screen broke. Accidents happen.

My iBook was knocked off the desk many times. It died the normal iBook death like my old friend's iBooks. (6 months after I stopped taking it to school too) It finally quit cutting on after alec played with it:rolleyes:

When you glue chess pieces to a fold-up board to take out and pose with for a roller coaster picture.

When you think something like that is funny enough to do.


For the record, thats a genius idea!:p
 
You know you're a geek when after you saw War Games, you took out your floppy drive and intentionally tried to install it upside down.

I guess that's another really old geek thing. Just like the Hypercard thread.
 
Ykyagw:

your pe coach is playing music on his iBook, and when he is scrolling down in iTunes, you point out that he can scroll with two fingers. also, when it's my turn to pick a song, i have to steal a look at the "About this Mac" screen (it's a 1.33 GHz G4 w/ 1GB RAM. :D
