Remember a few years ago when being a Geek meant something? You were up on the latest technology, you had the jargon down, there were specs to learn and things to know about which the average consumer had no idea.

It's getting harder and harder to find those kinds of products these days because companies are not often releasing the full specs but are, rather, releasing their enveloping vision of some platform initiative.

WOOHOOO im an endagered species. But once upon a time there was the stigma of being a geek and it was great. It was a cult following. Now its no longer a big deal and to many poser geeks out there. Yes you hear me. Poser geeks. LOL.
