When did you realize you were really a computer nerd?

    Warning: If you are not a computer nerd, please leave.

    I've always known I was a video game nerd. I've always known that I was a web nerd. I always knew I was a nerd in general. But unlike your stereotypical nerd type, I get a fairly good amount of tail. There's a few main factors contributing to this:

    1. I'm stunning to look at

    2. The Mor rules

    3. Nerds are "in" right now

    4. I'm an absolutely awesome person to be around

    Because of this I always felt that there was a delicate balance in the force. A point in which The Mor and God met in the middle so that life can continue. Thus I'm rarely recognized (even by me) as a true to life nerd.

    Enter today.... Unluckyluciano and I are on one of our typical AIM chats. We've decided to keep it non-sexual for once. We begin talking about MP3 players. As an avid Apple user I recommend the iPod Touch. I notice there's a 64GB version. I tell him about the 64GB Solid State drive and how awesome it is to have 64GB SS drives.

    We then continue discussing Solid State hard drives and how they could be the future. Interesting stuff actually. We went on to discover prices, read speeds, and even discussed caching options that SS drive developers could use.

    Then the light came on....

    We just had a full conversation about Solid State hard drives and were getting excited about it (no Lucky, not as excited as yesterday's convo). I acknowledged to him that I am a freaking nerd and explained that I hate myself. He also shared similar feelings. So this is my story.

    Nerds Anonymous... Hello, I'm The Mor. And I'm a nerd.

    I'm a nerd too. Nowhere near as hawt as theMor, nor as Lucky as Lucky, but I'm a damn sight cooler than Sick and Big E, the metrosexual odd couple.

    When I first started buying old laptops, zeroing out the hard drives, just so I could poke around looking for phdisk tools to fix them...on dialup...

    How many Gigs of porn does it take to offset the 'Nerd' title?

    Picking up girls outside of the Lighthouse for the Blind has grossly inflated his numbers too. He should show more class and pick them up at rehab centers like I do.

    I realized I was a computer nerd my freshman year of college - 1994.

    I spent almost as much time in the computer lab as I did drinking...

    It's better on the way out, they're all emotional and vulnerable, it's like the lion taking down the sick gazelle, a sure thing.

    Setting your goals high I see.

    To answer the question, with some things you never have a sudden realization, you just always know.

    Reformatted my first HP Pavillion garbage computer at least 20 times.

    Purchased and installed a Voodoo1 card to play GLQuake.

    Spent 8-10 hours per day playing Quake 2 DM.

    Began building and overclocking my system..

    Now I don't even use PC's that much anymore.. Use my Ipod Touch to browse the net and my PS3... Sad how far I have fallen over the past few years.
