Is it just me or is there a disproportionately large number of nerds on KB?

well it would stand to reason on a internet based forum, that alot of computer savy people would use over sea other professions. Also gives geeks a way to waste time while at work and not riding

I always saw it as escapism, being such a frustrating job working with computers day in day out you got to have an outlet for the frustration.

I wouldn't mind betting that the ones that have to deal with Windoze (or any Micro$oft product I guess) need the most miles to regain some semblance of sanity.

Are you sure you aren't in IT?
You seem to have nothing to do and all day to do it.

Yes and yes.
I haven't done any "real" IT stuff for a few years, but have worked in the IT "industry" :rolleyes: for... hmmm.... 14(?) years now, and although I don't have the slightest semblance of sanity, I still need the escapism KB almost provides. It seems a bit crapper this year than in the past though.... doesn't let me scape as much as it used to was.
Don't need it at home, so I rarely log on from home now, but now we've got a laptop, I sometimes have a quick gander while sitting in my lounging chair with my pipe'n'slippers of an evening...

ah, My alternate plan also sucked, so I have to refrain from any claims at being to smart for anything.

IT people are from the planet Geek but plenty of other people can be nerds. Mrs B levels that accusation at me and says I'm borderline Asperger's. I'm a mechanical engineer but chem eng's are worse!

I prefer "Geek". A Geek is a Nerd who knows he's a Nerd. There are no girl geeks or nerds. Just girls with horrible personalities and a bad case of man-face.

A Nerd is clueless and would die horribly on a motorcycle due to having to adjust his glasses and pocket protector at the same time, therefore there are no Nerds on KB, just Geeks.

Quid pro quo.

Sorry jim, I am but a simple uncomplicated nerd/geek/dweeb.
The finer nuances of nerddom escape me - hopefully for ever.

Wait? I can escape from the insanity?

Sometimes dealing with the slower clients in a phonecall while handling something else really makes me want to smash my head into a desk.

Can I escape please, and deal with servers only? They don't have users breaking them. Just me ;)

Oi! I'm anjoying them before they hit the ground ok...:crybaby:

btw...and to stay on topic...how do you actually quantify what a nerd is? I mean, from the perspective of my 60 something manager who has trouble understanding what all the lights are on her PC, I'm a freaking genius on a computer...

But for someone like MT or Nighthawk, I'm really just a bumbling beginner...

i think there should be limits imposed on the number of geek/nerd/it people allowed in the country. perhaps 0.0002% of the population . Above that either mutate them into real people with real lives or ship them off to white island holiday park............we might consider the same for politicians as well.
