It's time to ask yourself... "Am I a technophile"? Do I love technology so much I'd sell my kidney to get the smallest friggin' cell phone ever made?

Do you lie awake dreaming of a PDA that will play Unreal Tournament 2003 over a wireless network with other people at the bus stop?


TOP TEN SIGNS YOU'RE A TECHNOPHILE:

1. You never answer your phone... but that's okay, since you got your tele-zapper, and you've set your caller ID to block certain numbers... it never rings anyway.

Besides, all your friends have your cell number, your pager and/or your E-mail address... if they don't leave a voice mail.

2. You never leave home without at least ONE peice of technology on you.

3. Your vehicle has CB, CD, TV, DVD, a scanner and you're thinking of adding a a palm-pilot cradle for the front seat.... So what if you have to charge your car's battery every night?

4. Your kids refer to your basement as "The Command Post"... or, if you're a Star Trek Family... "The Bridge".

5. You get at LEAST three publications every month describing new technological goodies.

6. When accused of being a yuppie, you get pissed off... and you'd argue with them, but you have to answer your Cell.

7. You actually bought one of those jackets that carries all your technical crap for the low, low price of a couple hundred bucks... even though you work as a dish-washer at "Dennys".

8. You've implanted a GPS unit in your car, your children, yourself and your wife (cheating bitch she is... you KNOW that blip on your GPS tracking unit is stopping at your best friend's house! You triangulated it!)

9. You don't HAVE to have the latest gadgets... oh wait... yes you do!

10. You think real life has really cool graphics, but you're still expecting Plasma screens to advance to a better visual experience!

you need a bigger alternator in your car and a better deep cycle battery.
and about the publications in the mail my dad gets these free magazines every day like EE times, videosystems magazine, electronics design, and various other industry news letters. dose that count?
look at a plasma tv. then look at a CRT, LCD, or DLP tv. which one has better image quality?

Nope not me I know somebody like that though...

THREE!!! LOL I get a stack every month!

to name a few , CRN (Computer Reseller news) PC Gamer, Max PC, PC Magazine, Computer Shopper , Wired, Linux Journal, etc etc etc.

hahaha.... hey! don't make fun of me.. i carry around so much crap that every one thinks i'm a suppa geek. let's see now...
cell phone...
ipaq pocket pc...
with cf expansion paq
pc card expansion paq
cf to pc card adapter
various cf cards, wi-fi cards, bluetooth cards, sd cards, memory sticks too
digital cammera
bluetooth head set for phone and ppc
palm pilot ( for nastalgia reasons )
film cammera ( contax g2 with 4 lenses and flash )
latest copy of maximum pc and computer shopper
superbright led flashlight
gerber multi tool
and all the needed power adapters to keep them all charged.
this is all my daily work luggage and i don't even have a technical type of job, hell i'm just a scumbag tattoo artist.

i just wish they would make a swiss army geek tool and i would be set.

Lol so tru! I end up going to class with:
my laptop;
my PPC;
my iPaq CF Expansion;
my iPaq CF Bluetooth card;
my Cellphone;
my iPod
my Digital Camera;

My Backpack fills with all of this instead of my homework which I "couldnt fit" Teachers love me playing games and writing code on the iPaq in the back of class

1, 2 4, 5, 9, 10. So true.

Ironically... I'm just a computer nerd.

I dislike cell phones (when I'm in my car, I'm too busy watching the road... at the speeds I pull, I kinda have to), I'm not a big fan of PDAs (although they are getting better! I used one of the first ones out. There was no color, it ran one program, it had no operating system, and you had to type with a wand). No HotSync either...

Still, I'd like to get one of those gadget-jackets, and I want a laptop, and probably a PDA so I can keep up with the rest of society... so I'm an aspiring technophile...

As it is I leave the house without even a watch on me!

I don't go anywhere without my cell-phone, Minidisc player&Sony MDR-V500 DJ headphones, or my laptop.

Definately gotta have the latest/coolest/most fashionable gadgets.

Gotta stay on top of all that stuff

The only thing that I really don't have that I might not really want is one of those Scott eVest 2.0 or something like that. I just put everything in my boblbee backpack

Wherever I go, I'm sporting a geeky pulsar spoon digital watch, Sony Clie NX70/v (this is my PDA/still+video Camera/voice recorder/MP3 Player), my color cell phone, a Wi-Fi CF card for my PDA, and no surprise, not a dime of cash money. I hav been seen war-walking my college campus mapping out the dead spots for enjoyment.

heheh i wouldnt mind having ut2k3 on the road. something that should be created.

well 1, 2 (always have mobile and mp3 player in my coat), 5, 7 (well kinda, got a long leather coat that fits the mp3 player, mobile, tobacco and space for a lot more. Cost me £200 and i work at toys r us!), 9, 10 are all true for me

I just love computers, laptops, and some PDA's.
I hate phones, GPS, Satilites 'because they are watching you' and yuppies.
Cell phones and electronics on the road casue to much death.

AWWWW come on DS your telling me you cant multi task? lots of people speed in texas and talk on the cell phone. Speeding is almost a requirment in texas if you wanna get n e where on time LOL

Dude... when you've got the needle buried... taking your eyes off the road for even a second can mean your ass is going to turn into a smear.

The Speed Limit for most roads in Montana is 75 MPH... my speedo goes to 80, and I can push it WAY past that.

Trust me... I PASS most speeders... Hell, I passed an ambulance with it's lights on... I do NOT screw around.

LOL i do a steady 80-85mph and seesh im not psyhco like u. i want a motorcycle man those things are FAST you can go for 0-dead in 4 secs LOL

BTW: Red... I noticed in your sig you have a 7200 drive and a 5400 drive... those aren't on the same IDE chain... right?

hey chiquita why did james make ur sig so fruity? j/kin bro....but he kinda did there

Time to win the pissing contest for most tech stuff in the geekiest fashion.
I've got a ScotteVest 2.5 (which I love, by the way) to carry everything in.
Cell phone
Palm Pilot (free from work, but I still want an iPaq 5455)
Creative Nomad Zen (iPod only wishes it were as good)
Calculator (hey, never know when you need a good scientific calculator)
GPS nav in the (family) car
Water cooled PC
Just your average high school geek...
