Geeks: Admit it...
You've at least thought about using "I wanna fix your computer" as a pickup line. Admit it!

ps: it works.

I've heard "so, you wanna come over and fix my computer" as a pick up line.


edited to add:

and some other interesting comments about checking out hard drives, assuring me of no floppy drives, and we don't even want to go there about their RAM.

7. Good, but I took apart my indigo...
It was a nice 64bit SCSI, back in '94. $40k US, and I got it for free. It pays to know geeks in high places.

8. I know, and it's such torture that people seem to now LOVE geeks!
And yet... only the minorly geeky can get dates...
