How many computer geeks are here? Or just what do you do with your time?

Hmm... i hope you're listing computers only cuz you're interested in what others have had.. and not trying to compare the size of your **** =)

I mean.. lots of times it's what's given to you. Unless of course you are like 45 yo so you've bought all those computers yourself. =)

My family never really had the money.

So here are my computers:

8088 8 mhz, 640k, 5.25" DSDD (first system.)
386DX-33 (got stolen 1.5 years after I had it)
486DX-33 (insurance replacement)
K6 200
K6-2 450

That's all. I believe geekiness is what u've done to/with your computers (and the sheer amount of time u spent doing it) and not what you've owned. It's like saying "I've had a porshe, ferrari, lotus, etc. I'm a car expert" for a bad analogy.

(yes i'm trying to justify myself)
Anyhow.. i used to be a computer geek ever since i got my XT (9 yo). Did basic until i got my 386. Then I started doing asm and vga hw stuff. Did some demos and bbs ads back then.

University effectively killed my geek factor. =) And I'm glad. I'm a much more well rounded person =P hahahaha.

And now I've been working for a video game company =)
(reason for only having a k6-2 450. Nice computer at work)

year old thread... oh well.

I'm pretty knowledgeable about computers but i do labor for money (mostly painting).

I had an office job last year and it drove me crazy, I'd much rather be working with my hands. Plus it builds the muscles and helps with the tan.

Ah yes I knew someone had to bring this up... only time I'm on this board is when I'm at work... seem to be a lot lately too because Citrix just doesn't break!!! I'm a Citrix admin for a consulting company... In the top class of geeks.
