      You are 69% geek You are practically computer-literate, in an almost real sense. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing, depending on whether you use your knowledge for good or for ill. Looking at your answers, I'd almost certainly say it was a bad thing. :wtf: What's with the Star-Trek thing! I've come to grips with my geekness long ago, but I was never on the Star-Trek side. Most of that strain of geek is just plain strange IMHO :~ . - Nitron

            You're on a particularly useless cusp known as "being a bit of a nerd". Nobody really trusts what you say about computers, but at the same time, they keep asking you really annoying questions that they could answer for themselves if they just spent five minutes thinking about it. You also have to spend a lot of time not having a life in order to keep your slightly inadequate skills up to date. You have a choice: work harder and learn more, or give up and start to enjoy life. Ok, I lied a bit: my son's name is not Linus :) I see dumb people

                                    Should I be proud or not??? X| X| You're pretty much a nerd, sure enough. So if that's what you wanted to hear, well done, ish. I mean you're a "kind-of" geek, but definitely not gifted. Either you're a hard worker who's as thick as two short sales executives, or you just can't be bothered with detail. Whichever, you're a loser. That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig.
