You try go Google your room to find something in it. (I want to do this to find my camcorder for tonight)

**koala** · 09-23-2006, 02:07 PM

It's hidden under that big pile of manga comics over in the corner

I do this all the time, just with Ctrl+F or Win+S instead of Google.

I also wish I could create a bunch of folders and file the mess in my room away.

No, that's when you know you've been working in the library for too long!

ykyagw: the percentage of anime dvds in your dvd collection is greater than 60%

Volt-Schwibe · 09-23-2006, 09:30 PM

ykyagw: your collection of books on PDF is larger than your collection of books on paper. (of which, i am sadly guilty.)

Zazula · 09-23-2006, 09:34 PM

ykyagw: you're looking where the heck Ctrl+Z is, for all the screw-ups you do every day.

**DJ-Zep** · 09-23-2006, 09:53 PM

ykyagw: you laugh at Skie's UNIX joke

I know the feeling... sigh...

Too bad screwing up your computer up so bad you have to reformat isn't Ctrl+Z-able.

ykyagw: You know what ykyagw stands for without thinking of it.

**karusho** · 09-23-2006, 10:42 PM

Nice one, Chevy!

ykyagw: You know you can do a better job than Geek Squad can.

sinclair_tm · 09-23-2006, 11:07 PM

ykyagw: you walk into the apple store to ask a question, and realize that you know more than the apple paid guys-hence why i ended up on forums, such as this one. *sigh*

**Glaswegian** · 09-24-2006, 07:19 AM

ykyagw......well, you just know............

**forcifer** · 09-24-2006, 10:58 AM

you know your a geek when trying to find something, you use windows commands (Zaz, my bird was hiding in a plant)

Matrix720 · 09-24-2006, 04:16 PM

you know your a geek ..... When you spend all your free time on the computer downloading computer fixes when you dont need them

sinclair_tm · 09-24-2006, 10:59 PM

ykyagw: you are downloading those fixes to burn to cds incase you ever do need them in 5yrs when you decide to make an old system for fun

**Spatcher** · 09-25-2006, 05:49 AM

ykyagw: you can't explain how to fix a computer, but you can do it.

yktagw: you wonder what your television's screen resolution is.

ykyagw: you are smarter than an admin at a high school.

ykyagw: you have more friends online than in real life
