Geekiest moment of your life:
Alex, who didn't specifically suggest what his geekiest moment was, probably once faced the ultimate question: "If you had a choice to have a hot date with a sexy supermodel or a permanent T3 connection in your home, which would you choose?", and chose...poorly.

"LOL" is still not an accepted humorous response in social situations.

What is the funniest/most bizarre computer/Internet/geeky experience you have ever had:

You have a time machine that can only be used once. If you use it you will not come back. What date would you set it to, and what ONE thing would you take with you (not a computer):
I will set it back for 1 day and take all my money with me, so after a day there are two of me, and after two days we are four...so i can do all my Inventions in parallel.

Alex, who once postponed a moving date so that his computers could set new uptime records, can actually read the error message details when a Windows program has a problem.
