I was going to end this comic with a different line, insinuating that the person was less geeky than I thought. However, in my experience, most people tend to have hidden geeky tendencies, and so I figured it would be more accurate the other way around.

Which is just as well, since I couldn’t really think of anything you could discover about someone that would make them appear less of a geek… I could rely on clichés, such as having a girlfriend – but I know that not to be true as some of the geekiest people I know have, at least, one.

So that’s what I’m going to spend the next few days pondering – what would you have to discover about someone that would make them appear to be less of a geek?

The writers of Star Trek left plenty of room for manoeuvre when defining their ‘Prime Directive’, so I will do the same:

Never tell people stuff about computers that they don’t need to know.
