I date one. I'm more of a nerd myself.


I'm the boyfriend.


Yeah...  Well we'll believe that when she tells us.  Like everyone wouldn't want to be her boyfriend.

Well maybe not Xolik.


*raises hand*
Yo.

Nothing personal, dearie.

I have one!   :D  Great web designer. I just wish she could understand why I get excited about the smallest things, such as when I buy a new vacuum cleaner. Come on, they are neat! Especially the robotic/self-propelled/autonomous ones. It's fun to watch them, to torture them as they creep along the carpet...

I nearly cream myself when I buy a flashlight, or anything with light(s) actually (especially blinky ones). I'm in love with my router, I open the server closet and I'm overcome by the glory of all the deep blue blinking LEDs. Mmm...

Things that fly or hover are the best. Wait, actually things that fly or hover and have blinky lights are the best. They 0wnz me.

If you like LEDs, you should get one of these.

I get a lot of use out of mine, particularly when working on a computer.  It puts bright, intense light right where I'm looking, and no need for moving a desk lamp around or holding a flashlight.

Yea, I have a similar one with a single white LED, two red ones and then a standard bulb. It's great...they are so useful....

You know I never thought of one of those as something I would use.  But man is it annoying having to hold a flash light at the same time you are trying to change a jumper inside your tower.  I was doing this tonight and would have loved to have had one of those things. :D

You know whats scary? My cousin makes me do EQ tasks for him while he is at work. So, I usually end up camping a monster on one of his three computers.

LOL well I AM one (a geek girl, not a vacuum/flashlight/router)

I hate my router. It and I got in a fight last week...I think we're going to break up *cries*

Sorry, I was netless and couldn't respond earlier /sigh

Your guy (if you have one) might like it if you were a vacuum. Ehehe...

I replace my routers every year. It really just seems like they "burn out", and there's always newer technology coming out, so I just use that as an excuse now.

My latest and *favourite* so far is the D-Link GamerLounge DGL-4300

*drool*

I've got some wireless POS I picked up at best buy. I had to get two to get one that worked and half the time it just decides it won't let me have an IP addy because I've offended it somehow. Testy, miserable thing.

Had a guy. Got rid of him. Don't care if he wants me to be the starship enterprise. That was one virus that needed removing  :twisted:

What the holyfuck are you saying?

I saw you lurking. I'd hoped you'd notice the New Geeks forum and introduced yourself there before posting incoherent blatherings elsewhere on the forum. Oh well.

Is that engrish?

I don't care about your set-up, dude. It ain't the speed of the machine that gets my interest, it's the way they network. It ain't easy to get in my ports ;)

Watch out for those l337 h4><0rz, they'll give you a v1ru5 if you leave your ports open or use outdated soft/hardware. They'll show up, drop their load and get the feck outta' there...

Usually a dead giveaway right there. Hard to find a good one though...they're usually too busy networking with the airbrushed female pop ups to answer your IMs ;)
