Bill Gates is the archetypal geek 1.0. The second geek has a mac. Bill Gates is ridiculously wealthy. Macs are meant for art students and hipsters. Neither of which are usually very wealthy. Except maybe the hipsters. Let’s looks at it this way.

Bill Gates is the archetypal geek 1.0.

The second geek has a mac.

Bill Gates is ridiculously wealthy.

Macs are meant for art students and hipsters. Neither of which are usually very wealthy.

Only way you can assert your geek-hood is by doing things. To take the Jeff Foxworthy approach, if more than a few people call you their "personal tech support", you might be a certifiable geek. Just one of many possible indicators. @<a href="#comment-190528" rel="nofollow">Elepski</a> and @<a href="#comment-190529" rel="nofollow">outofocus</a>: The unfortunate reality is that pay does not always increase with technical ability. Now, compared to everybody he graduated high school with, yeah, he's probably making a good bit more than the average (my personal experience, anyway). @rattybad: Indeed.
