Your last name has Mac in it (Well it sounds like it at least)
Your Mac must be clean at all times
Your favorite thing to watch on TV is Apple commercials
You hackintosh your work laptop
You hit F9 on Windows and it does a send and recieve in your email instead of showing all the open windows.
You still have the box your Mac's PSU came in just because it is a Apple box
You still have your broken iBook still even though it has been broken for a year and you wish it was not broken just so you could use it as a server when all of those junk PC's you get from family would do just as good
You laugh when your friend's PC BSODs while he is showing you how it is so much better than your Mac. (one just did that)
Your favorite screensaver for a PC is this (I did that to Dad after he just reloaded windows on his Dull)
You use pictures of Macs you don't have as your desktop background with your stuff photoshoped on the screens
You call big cats by their OS X version. (Leopard is 10.5, Tiger is 10.4 ect)

You cancel an online order from Amazon.com just so you can go to an Apple Store at 6 AM to wait in line to get your hands on a $30 piece of software.

* Apple Stickers on just about everything.

* Hackintoshed a pink Dell Mini 9 for work.

* Modded my iBook G3/600 with a fast 40GB hard drive and slot loading combo drive because, "Tiger runs great on it, and it was only the rotational speed of the original hard drive holding it back. And with the 16MB of VRAM and a new battery, plays DVDs swell!"

* Proceeded to slice the original tray-loading drive cover to the G3 iBook lengthwise in half and epoxied it on to the case in front of the slot loading combo drive so the case lines look "clean" again.

* Insist on using aforementioned iBook G3 at work instead of the much faster and lighter hackintosh Dell Mini 9.

When you pronounce Mac OS X as OS "ten" as apposed to the letter "x" like pretty much everyone else I've ever met and had to correct :mad:

You consider making your day trip into NYC a night trip so you can pick up Snow Leopard right at midnight...despite that fact the trains back to your home stop running at 10PM

Oops... I still do that! But I stopped recently though.

You know you're an Apple Geek when...

You camp out at the App Store just to be first in line for SL.
Your wardrobe has only Apple Shirts you for free while waiting in lines.
You are annoyed when you see a PC.
You brag about how the latest cool movie was made on a Mac Pro.
You buy cases/covers for your Apple gadgets.
You feel like your Mac is outdated once a new model is released.

Before you go to bed, you kiss your iMac good night.
You want to take your Mac in bed with you and sleep with it like a teddy bear. You kiss pictures of Macs on the computer or on TV :D.

When, while trying to mend my sisters PC, I changed her wallpaper to a cute Finder icon with 'Macs Rule' underneath (she's since switched :D)

You sit in Bank Holiday traffic for an hour just to spend 5 minutes in the Apple Store buying Snow Leopard.

You have seperate cleaning stuff for the rest of the house and for your Apple products.

You're having a tidy up and find your first Apple box- a 5G iPod- and it delights you like you've found some old family photographs or something!

You bought iPod Socks.

You pause and rewind TV shows or movies when you spot a Mac to see what kind/model it is.

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.

I've got stickers from every Apple product I've bought since 2001 and not used them on anything

..when you give a damn about Snow Leopard


(seriously - it's the most transparant OS upgrade ever. Been using it for a week and I can't notice)

When you check the live updates of every keynote and have them all in your calendar.

When you sell all your tech to buy a Apple product.

When you almost empty your bank account to buy a 3GS then finish the job completely buying apps.

When you dream of iPhones.

When you have Apple stickers on your PCs.

When you draw Apple products and Apple logos on everything.

When you record all the Apple commercials when they come on TV.

...when you work at a supermarket, and someone's bill comes to $14.40, and your first thought is "Hey! That's the horizontal resolution of my MacBook Pro!"

And you have wirless file sharing turned on between the two (or more!) computers and use it often



Or you call it a 'four leaf clover' becuase you are lucky not to be using a Windows machine

I called it the Pretzel key
