Tech Geeks...

[LtPage1]

I consider myself a tech geek (posting from a Powerbook here). And one of my better friends is a compsci major who's forgotten more about computers and technology than I'll ever know- he's got an iBook and an Intel iMac.

So there.

Tech Geeks are allowed to have toys. Macs are toys.
I used to have an old powerbook that I got for under $200. 166mhz, 2gb drive, 24mb of ram .... ran yellowdog linux, made a nice VCD player as well as text based web surfer and very good IRC box ...

What does my dub (1 of 1500, now sold long ago) have to do with macophiles?

Ok, n00b. Thanks for your ridiculously stupid input.

Look at the edit to my OP. Im talking about the non-low level macophile.

The operating system a person uses does not make them a geek....their proficiency at using hardware and software as well as their instinctive desire to work with all things tech makes them so.

Bullshit.

edit: see my edit in the OP. By definition a macophile can NOT be a geek. Rebut.
