In the winter you don't have to turn the heater on in your house and in the in the summer you have to keep the A/C on full blast!

you set it to defragment whenever you have plans to be out for over an hour.

You never have an OS installed long enough to defrag...

Spend over 2 grand on a pc, and half your time running 3dmark. (solitare anyone?)

when your buddies think you finally found a girlfriend, only to find out those female references were about your uber-system

- You spend time on bulletin boards arguing whether AMD or Intel is better
- You work three jobs to afford SLI-ed 7800GTXs while saying you are saving for college/car/house (depends on your age!)

- you know more than the geek squad dumbasses at best buy...

those dorks don't know anything... some lady was wondering why her computer wouldn't work when she installed another stick of memory (pc133) into her computer (a newer dell was what she brought in... that thing doesn't take pc133). the guy said that she needed to install new memory drivers. i was like "HAHA wtf?!"

when you buy and upgrade your pc just so you can play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with the coffee shop mod over and over.

damn right audiophile, I used to work at the Big Blue Whore, and frankly, they don't know a damn thing about computers. I had to learn most of what I know now by experimentation, and a little help from my buddy who used to go to a pretty decent vocational school/college in Polk County, NC. He gave me a whole lot of insight on how to build computers; glad I listened, lol

You have pieces of old/dead hardware on your person when you can't be next to the main rig...

Man, talk about your trophies, lol. Can't talk too much though, I had a dead stick of DDR400 on my house keychain.

Post by **Apoptosis** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:02 pm

I got you all beat with my unique SD Flash Card on my keychain!

killswitch83 · Post by **killswitch83** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:05 pm

Ooh, aah, lol. Only one question: does it come with a hemi? (note the Dodge key), rofl.

Post by **Apoptosis** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:06 pm

I wish it did... Just need the other 47,999 for the $48,000 price tag! But, it does work on the SRT-4 ACR ;)
