Hmm. I noticed the word 'suit' in there. Having never worn
one on principle, I don't think I count for that category.
One reason I don't count myself as a geek is that, where possible,
I don't get into technical details. I try to write all my code
using Qt only - that is, zero direct system calls. I get completely
lost when I have to do stuff in raw C++ (manipulating a C string
just makes my head spin).
I think to count as a geek, I'd have to be able to at least
do binary arithmetic, be able to convert hex<->denary, etc.

It was an euphemism. Never mind...

That's crap though. We need two new words, one for bi women, one for
bi men. Then make everyone in the world aware of them and they move
into common use. Reckon that can be done in 6 months or so ?
