OS X Graphite and Flurry...on my Athlon 64 box.

What's so special about your computer room:
I eat, sleep, and live in it.  My computers run all day and night and lull me to sleep.

How many computers do you have:
I have a homebuilt Athlon 64 box, with a Radeon 9600xt 256MB, 1024MB DDR, and 0.5 TB of storage.  I also have a Compaq dual PII 400 workstation acting as a server, and an old PIII BSD box.  Those are just my working computers.  I have many many other parts that could someday live again.  I also consider all of the computers at work MINE.  Don't touch!!!  Stupid users.

20 GOTO 10

Geekiest moment of your life:
After my first Linux install. 

When did you first realize you were a geek:
When I smashed my first RC car with a hammer...not out of a destructive spirit, but out of a curious one.  No screwdrivers available, and I wanted it OPEN.

If you were a computer program, you would be: why:
Gentoo Linux why:  Just looking to help, always open to anyone who wants me, but perhaps not as user friendly as some would like.  If something's not working, I'll tell you why, and I'm getting easier to deal with all the time.

Eat or sleep.

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):
January 1st 1980, and I'd bring a firearm, to prevent my own birth.  Just to...you know...see what happens.

Jeff, who once equipped a fish tank with network connectivity, would like to promote www.nobodyspants.com : A great name for a now-defunct web design company, and an awesome idea...but hopefully the future site of the funniest site in internet history!!!!!

Jeff, who was playing mp3 files in his car WAY before it was cool or commercially viable, SSH's into his BSD server from his cell phone...and issues commands via handwriting recognition.
