Geek Accusation?

Or a Bagpipe!

Maybe we need an 'ugly computer' contest.

Or would that be too much like a poll?

Sounds like a Poll, but surely it's an ugly PC competition? :p

V good, not Geek, not Nerd, now Dork.

I've been told in this thread that Geek means you can have a wife.

Nerd means you may have a G/F but not exclusively.

So what does a Dork have

So what does a Dork have

Usually a little company called called Microsoft or Apple.

Dork was a bit 80's wasn't it, and a bit more offensive than Geek.

I think Geek has friendlier connotations than Dork or Nerd... And i find Geek a bit more accepted..

chiming in a little late, but a true geek takes being called a geek as a compliment. if you did not view this as a compliment, you are not a geek.

I don't think that calling something ugly is PC.... :eek:
