What's So Special About Your Computer Room:  Bah, I can't think of anything.  It all seems so pedestrian to me!  Many different operating systems, many different computers, 48 ports of 10/100 and even gig fiber.

How Many Computers Do You Have: Probably about a half a dozen.  I have an almost terabyte RAIDed Linux fileserver, A spare OpenBSD machine that needs to get on the network, a Windows box, my work provided Powerbook and slew of other systems.

Geekiest Moment: Driving a passenger van to the ACM programming competition in Canada and setting up what I am convinced was the worlds largest Vehicular Area Network (VAN) that was running from at least 6 to 8 laptops, 3 1500VA UPSes and at least a few hundre feet of Cat 5.  That was cool.

When Did You First Realize You Were A Geek: When I received my first Colecovision and immediately thought, "I wonder how they make those games, that looks fun!"

If I Was A Program I'd Be: Photoshop.  I never fully understand myself, but I always find something new and neat that I didn't know before.

The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)

Paul, who thinks that being a geek doesn't mean you have to be social, spends a lot of his time geeking out at functions, meetings, and gatherings. Paul who loves digital art and making music, is a self-confessed closet DJ. Paul listens to electronica and got into the digital craze almost by accident, when a friend invited him over to see Cakewalk, thinking that the music sequencing software was actually a tasty dessert.
