Know the alphabet in French too (at least the vast majority)  When you do a sudoku while your code compiles and finish the sudoku before the compiling! _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Not really. When I worked at MBNA we all had to know it, and most of the people I worked with were seriously un-geeky.

Does that means the entire populations of France, large parts of Canada & some of Africa are all geeks? I know the alphabet in Italian, what does that make me? Jon

You know you are a Geek when…
Your blood begins to boil as you read the grammatically incorrect "10 items or less" at the supermarket.

I heard a reporter on radio one say "less" twice the other day when he meant fewer both times! I shouted "FEWER" at the radio but I don't think he heard me

I do the same, seriously. It doesn't even sound right to say "There are less free beds in hospitals" as I heard the other day. Peter. _________________A Mac user
