At Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string Buying flowers for your girlfriend or spending the money to upgrade your RAM is a moral dilemma Everyone else on the Alaskan cruise is on deck peering at the scenery, and you are still on a personal tour of the engine room In college you thought Spring Break was a metal fatigue failure The salespeople at Best Buy can't answer any of your questions You are at an air show and know how fast the skydivers are falling You bought your wife a new CD-ROM for her birthday You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie You can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting You can't write unless the paper has both horizontal and vertical lines. You comment to your wife that her straight hair is nice and parallel. You go on the rides at Disneyland and sit backwards in the chairs to see how they do the special effects You have Dilbert comics displayed anywhere in your work area You have even saved the power cord from a broken appliance You have never bought any new underwear or socks for yourself since you got married You have used coat hangers and duct tape for something other than hanging coats and taping ducts You know what http:// actually stands for. You look forward to Christmas only to put together the kids' toys You own one or more white short-sleeve dress shirts You see a good design and still have to change it You spent more on your calculator than on your wedding ring You still own a slide rule and you know how to work it You think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep You wear black socks with white tennis shoes (or vice versa) You window shop at Radio Shack You're in the back seat of your convertible, she's looking wistfully at the moon, and you're trying to locate a geosynchronous satellite You know what the geosynchronous satellite’s function is Your checkbook always balances Your laptop computer costs more than your car Your wife hasn't the foggiest idea what you do at work Your wristwatch has more computing power than a 300Mhz Pentium You've already calculated how much you make per second You've even tried to repair a $5 radio Awards

The $5 radio is the best.

Great.....
