You know you're an apple geek when...
you spent nearly 2 hrs reading this entire thread and can relate to most of it only to join MacRumors so that you can contribute.
you have owned an Apple IIe, LC, Performa 575, original Apple "MacTV", ThinkPad, G4 Cube (CubeOwner.com member), PBG4, 3 iMacs, 7 iPods, own aapl stock, and constantly search the internet hoping that someone will hack the internal components in an iPhone to accommodate a switch to CDMA so that you can finally have a Verizion (who originally had a chance to be the exclusive carrier, but couldn't come to terms with Apple) iPhone. Maybe in 1.5 yrs when AT&T contract expires.
you know what I am talking about when I say MacTV (how many of these did they make?)
Actually laughed out loud when you read the
you go to MacWorld hoping to find a spouse.
your closet has nothing but a rack of blue jeans and a rack of black mock turtles that you lovingly hand-stitched the Apple logo into the collar, next to a drawer full of Apple boxers and socks.
you have thought about turning an old iMac into a fish tank.
Hope and pray that this years MacWorld will unveil an iTV (or iTV/MacMini combo with full OSX and capabilities) with built in high capacity HD DVR capability (Mac Front Row style and interface) with HDMI out and CableCARD/DirecTV access card slot along with a large 40"+ LCD with built in iSight for video chat, memory card hub for flash etc. and elegant (Harmony-like) Apple remote.
you use the Apple logo on the PB/MB or power button for iMac, Cube, Tower etc as a night light. The slow pulse reminding you of your mother's womb.
your wife calls you PB the 'first-born'.
you own a book called "The Cult of Mac"
you are the guy with the Apple logo shaved into his head on the cover of the book above.
you remember easter eggs and cookies from OS 8+. (anyone care to list a few?)

when you had your senior pictures, some of them at least taken with apple computers/displays
(11) and ipods(2). and some mac boxes....and a MM or two...and some macworld, maclife magazines....o and you have mac praising shirts on in them, such as Macs Rock, and Steve Jobs for President.

When you cold-boot your Mac and expect to hear the "ooohhh" startup noise, but the speakers are muted, so when you're started up you un-mute them and restart again just to hear the noise.
I do that
When you got hundreds of apple bags stored in your closet...fold nice and neat
Bless
i do that!!!
When you hear someone ask "Is that the new Apple iPod Phone?" and want to murder them.
Look, it really couldn't be much simpler: i + Phone = iPhone.

Ha, that was one of the first things I tried to buy when I created an eBay account. I can still remember, it was going for about $500 and I obviously didn't have the money (was a teeny bopper) but I bid on it anyway, and won. I didn't pay and just ignored it, and the seller left negative feedback on my account. That was the only negative feedback I ever got, but still ended up having many successful purchases
Type "secret about box" in SimpleText, select the text and drag it to the Desktop - bam! I forget what actually happened, but it was different for different versions. I believe it was around 7.5.5 or so that they removed the easter egg. Was truly a sad day in history
I've already killed a few....Especially the ones who call iPod Touch an iTouch. I mean do you call an iPod nano and iNano? NO! YOU DON'T!
You know your an Apple geek when you take the little glossy pamplets from the displays in the Apple stores and out them on your wall.
Sounds good to me.
So I got a refrigerator that when I tap (once) on the door it opens automatically. So cool.
...You've averaged more than 4 posts per day on MacRumors since June 2006
Guess I must be an Apple geek then.
You know that you're an Apple geek when you average buying more than 1 Apple computer every year.
HAH! On my desk at the office I have the MacUser magazine from, I think, 1994 with the review of the first MacTV. Good God, my daughter was right, I am an Apple geek!
When you think a cool Gelaskin would be the old rainbow Apple logo wrapped around your ipod Touch. Urban camouflage be damned: if you got it, flaunt it.
you hate it when
PEOPLE CALL IT THE DAMMM iTOUCH
no its not the ITOUCH! its an IPOD TOUCH!
i hate that so much it drives me insane

someone asks about your new iTouch....
You coldly stare at them for a moment, softly say "iPod touch", then pimp-slap them and walk away.
I agree about the iTouch thing...
But, 1) When the corners in Windows don't do anything and you are quite seriously confused for at least 10 seconds
2) When trying to two-finger scroll on your friends PC laptop doesn't do anything and you feel sick to the stomach

You know you're an Apple Geek when you have 20 or 30 Apple stickers laying around, but don't want to mess them up by sticking them on something.
Yep, I know that one. You either have to use the right border of the trackpad, or *gasp* drag the cursor over to the scroll bar and manually drag it up and down.

You know, call me by my username, but...
I don't mind the right-side thing.
