...after you start having problems with your arm hurting from repetitive stress, you decide to become ambidexterous with the mouse, so you can keep on playing.

Damnit Mort, that's my line.

Khyron coughs, wheezes, hacks, and generally does the best he can to bring his lungs up to meet the floor.

you know you're a geek when your hand has corroded your mouse and some of the paint is gone, it's depressing.

My mouse actually has a light grey stain where my hand doesn't rest on it, and solid white where it does. I find this amusing.

Mouse discoloration.

Actually using a mouse to the point of complete failure after repairing it several times along the way.

Resurrecting a Palm Pilot Pro you were given for free because you wanted to take it apart to begin with

You have more PC's than friends

Your friends have more PC's than friends

You want a wearable comp because they exist.

You're waiting in line for a cyberjack.

Cyberjack: A cyberware interface between the brain and any computer system. Basically, it's a hardwired connection in your head to link your brain directly to a computer.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

You know you're a geek when you actively follow
"You know you're a geek" threads to see if anyone has said anything yet that you haven't thought of yet.

You know you're a geek when you regularly use the word "fnord".

You know you're a geek when you get ecstatic about 3 servers crashing, thereby giving you the excuse not to see the dentist and have your wisdom teeth out.

(hallelujah! YEAH!)

You know you're a geek when your office has more hardware sitting in it than your average ISP.

You know you're a geek when you look at new shiny hardware and start drooling.

Hmm.. that's it for now

Cybernetic interface. There are lots of names for it, datajack applies but tends to conjure up images of just raw data transfer capabiliries vs full immersion in the matrix that a cyberjack tends to imply.

Jack in, sit back, close my eyes and run.
