Are you a tehcnical geek?
Do you have a problem with overdoing your technical activities? Many do.
Take the following test to see if you are compulsive. If you can
relate to 2 of the items, you may have a problem with Techno-Dweeb. If
you relate to 3 or more, you are definitely a Techno-Dweeb. Do not
despair! There is help! You are not alone! Whenever you feel the urge
to code in Assembler, call the number in the white pages of your phone
book, and we will send somebody right over to cut out paper dolls with
you until the feeling passes.
You know you are a tehcnical geek when . . .
When your friend tells you all about his Cressida V6 and you reply
"Yeah, I had V5, and it was full of bugs!"
When driving you see a license plate with the letters DSR, and you feel
compelled to touch your bumper to the other car to see if you can raise
CD.
When you are counting objects "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".
When you lay down in the afternoon for a short rest, end up sleeping 4
hours, and call it a "mega-nap".
When your friend is going to Essex for vacation and you tell her, "You
really should go for the DX, it has the built in co-processor."
When you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.
When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits.
When you convince yourself that Tetris really does improve eye-hand
coordination.
When the radio traffic reporter talks about a backup caused by a crash,
and you correct her that a backup is good protection in case of a crash.
When floppy drive applies more to your love life, and hard drive to your
machines.
When you call "*.*" star-dot-star.
When you can do hexadecimal arithmatic in your head.
When your wife goes to the market for some macintosh apples, and you
correct her, "No, dear, it's 'Apple Macintosh'."
When your wife says "If you don't turn off that stupid machine and come
to bed, then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise her for for
omitting the else clause.
