Talking You are an OS X geek when ...

You are a Mac (OS X) geek when... (continue, add more stuff)

- After getting a pile of Apple t-shirts you think "kewl, now i don't HAVE TO buy for new clothes for a while"

- Your internal (body) time iSyncs to PST (e.g. GMT = PST +8)

- You have or try to get a phone number containing funny numbers or numbers equivalent to apple stuff, http or your favorite unix codes (777, 700, 666, 404, 403, fsck, list, kill, http, ipod etc)

- You use an Apple parfume, soap, candles etc, and drink apple juice or -cider or have apple candy just because it's apple ..

- You leave your bf / gf just because he/she asks if Cupertino is a football coach

- Your dreams are in objective-c -or- can be browsed in finder (a better version than the actual)

- You realise you don't know many Windows users any more

- When you reply to this thread...

When exploring Mac OS X in a terminal session is better than exploring your date(s).

or...

...You wonder if PEEK and POKE are implemented into Mac OS X from AppleSoft BASIC.

Yes, there is that nasty sexual connotation.

You know you're an OS X geek when...

... you press Comman-Option-Esc just for fun

... you brag that your Dock is bigger and longer than your roommates' Dock.
.....(then again, it's not how big it is, it's how you use it. )

... you put the Terminal in your Dock... not because you use it, but because you're proud of the UNIX underpinnings.

... You cringe at the sight of icons that are jagged.

... You add clothes to your closet expecting that either the closet will grow to accomodate your new additions, or everything inside the closet will automatically shrink to create more room.

... you come home from shopping and first make sure that your iBook, your iPod, your Macintosh Colour Classic and your eMate 300 are okay. And then install the software you've just bought. And then remember that you actually went shopping for food but forgot about it on the way.

You make a mistake in real life and do the keyboard shortcut Apple + Z with your left hand.
