The Code of the Geeks v1.0.1

Computers :

Most geeks identify themselves by their use of computers and computer networks. In order to quantify your geekiness level on computers, consult the following (consider the term 'computers' synonymous with 'computer network'):

  • c Computers are a tool, nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose.
  • c+ Computers are fun and I enjoy using them. I play a mean game of Wing Commander and can use a word processor without resorting to the manual too often. I know that a 3.5" disk is not a hard disk. I also know that when it says 'press any key to continue', I don't have to look for a key labeled 'ANY'.
  • c++ Computers are a large part of my existence. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is log myself in. I mud on weekends, but still manage to stay off of academic probation.
  • c+++ You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I live for muds. I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.
  • c++++ I'll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull.
  • c- Anything more complicated than my calculator and I'm screwed.
  • c-- Where's the on switch?
  • c--- If you even mention computers, I will rip your head off!
