Hmm... i hope you're listing computers only cuz you're interested in what others have had.. and not trying to compare the size of your **** =)

I mean.. lots of times it's what's given to you. Unless of course you are like 45 yo so you've bought all those computers yourself. =)

My family never really had the money.

So here are my computers:

8088 8 mhz, 640k, 5.25" DSDD (first system.)
386DX-33 (got stolen 1.5 years after I had it)
486DX-33 (insurance replacement)
K6 200
K6-2 450

That's all. I believe geekiness is what u've done to/with your computers (and the sheer amount of time u spent doing it) and not what you've owned. It's like saying "I've had a porshe, ferrari, lotus, etc. I'm a car expert" for a bad analogy.

(yes i'm trying to justify myself)
Anyhow.. i used to be a computer geek ever since i got my XT (9 yo). Did basic until i got my 386. Then I started doing asm and vga hw stuff. Did some demos and bbs ads back then.

University effectively killed my geek factor. =) And I'm glad. I'm a much more well rounded person =P hahahaha.

And now I've been working for a video game company =)
(reason for only having a k6-2 450. Nice computer at work)

year old thread... oh well.

I'm pretty knowledgeable about computers but i do labor for money (mostly painting).

I had an office job last year and it drove me crazy, I'd much rather be working with my hands. Plus it builds the muscles and helps with the tan. :D
