Very little of the above...

But I always read the manual from cover to cover

I guess that makes me über-geek...

I don't think any of those substitute to being Geeky, it's just a sign of the times.

It's night time here now so to relax I can either sit at my PC and communicate with the world, voice my opinion and debate with others from every nationality just like you fine people here.

Or.... what, sit down and watch mindless TV just like the “non-geek” people do ?

TV kills braincells, and the so called “Normal People” will never understand.

Regards
James

How many of you have been behind an erratic vehicle whose driver is probably tuned into one of the above while piloting his 4,000 pounds of metal?

Cell phones were just the tip of the iceberg!

with that train of thought you might as well take all Radios, CD/DVD players, GPS units, etc, etc, out of vehicles also as major distractions.

Seems to me that a guy almost has to be a geek to play keyboards now. In the 'good old days' it was just sit there and play. Imagine that.

Say it loud, I'm a Luddite and proud.

No I agree with Lucky that handheld cell phones were a major hazard. Thank goodness many states including California where I live have made using hand held cell phones illegal while driving. So many times I have sat behind vehicles weaving around and not noticing any traffic around them and seen them with a hand held cellphone pushed to the side of their head.

No Joke. Coming back from NC this weekend a guy passed me doing at least 75, steering with his forearms and texting. Too scary for words.
