When your wife won;t let you install a more complicated toilet.

When you lose power and you have to "re-boot" all your clocks

You attempt to re-boot your Grandfather's typewriter.

I can see them all making you a geek, but how do the first two make you a 'computer' geek?

However, you know you're a computer geek when you complain about people using "impact" as a verb but then talk about "accessing" information or, when asked where you found something out, blythely reply "Oh, I just Googled it."

You know your a geek when you play Eve online!

Not a joke but i downloaded the trial version of Eve MMO and after 5-6 hrs of playing this game i realize I am not a geek cause that's what Eve was made for, Geeks!. Beautiful looking spacesim first thoughts were who needs spacesims like X series when there's Eve available. I just didn't find clicking on dots in space to make your ship head in that direction fun at all!

Sadly I have to report that "Googled" has been accepted into Websters dictonary.
