GEEK DRESS CODE [!dpu---(x+)]

No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don't you think? But if I did participate in this category, I would characterize myself as follows: "My tendencies on this issue range from: "I wear the same clothes all the time, no matter the occasion, forgetting to do laundry between wearings. Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos.", to: "Cross Dresser Good leisure-wear.

GEEK UNIX CODE [UL+>++++]

I use GNU/Linux exclusively. I not only have a unix account, but I slam VMS any chance I get. But someday I'd like to say: "I am the sysadmin.

GEEK EMACS CODE [E>+++]

Yeah, I know what emacs is, and use it as my regular editor. But someday I'd like to say: "Emacs is my login shell!! M-x doctor is my psychologist! I use emacs to control my TV and toaster oven! All you vi people don't know what you're missing! I read alt.relgion.emacs, alt.sex.emacs, and comp.os.emacs."

GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W+++$]

I am a WebMaster. Don't even think about trying to view my homepage without the latest version of Netscape. When I'm not on my normal net connection, I surf the web using my Newton and a cellular modem. Getting paid for it!

Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt."

GEEK OS/2 CODE [O--]

I can't even get the thing to install!

GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M+$>++]

A Mac has it's uses and I use it quite often. Getting paid for it! But someday I'd like to say: "I am a Mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software to do it."

GEEK PGP CODE [PGP>++]

I've used it, but stopped long ago. But someday I'd like to say: "I have the most recent version and use it regularly."

GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t++(+++)@]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's the best show around. I have all the episodes and the movies on tape and can quote entire scenes verbatim. I've built a few of the model kits too. But you'll never catch me at one of those conventions. Those people are kooks.", to: "It's not just a TV show, it's a religion. I know all about warp field dynamics and the principles behind the transporter. I have memorized the TECH manual. I speak Klingon. I go to cons with Vulcan ears on. I have no life."
