            Oh jeez, I had to put up with that for 3 months when I moved into a new place 100 miles from my mum. You know you're a geek when you have a freephone tech support number just for your family to call you with tech problems. Or you set up a free cellphone calling group for the same purpose. I've done both. FML. :-| codegecko

                                No this only applies if you both stare at your feet.  If any eye contact was made, then you still lose your geek cred.

                                        I met a girl in 1993 and asked her if she had an email address. She said "A wha? :confused:". She gave me her snail mail address. She's now my wife and checks her Facebook page daily on her iPhone. I guess it all worked out, right? :-D

                                          Ha! That's great. :) I wanted to get my daughter a onesie that says "Child process" on it, but my wife had to draw the line somewhere.
