You keep everything :apple:, even iPod refurb boxes
You have a mighty mouse attached to your messenger bag and you dont own a laptop, not because you might stumble across a computer without a mouse, not because it looks cool(which it does), not to use it as a super cool weapon(which it can be used for) just because apple designed it.

Couldn't find a thread on this, so I wanted know to your y'alls thoughts.

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


You sold your other clothes for a black turtleneck and jeans.

oh dear, i've got many black t-shirts and jeans in my wardrobe, not to mention the apple sticker on my door, the fact that i can't throw away any apple box that the products come in,

You know you're an Apple Geek when you get dumped by your girlfriend because you'd rather go on macrumorslive.com than go shopping with her

when you have a t-shirt "Get a mac, Get a life"

When you fly 3000 miles for Macworld then visit Apple HQ to get a t-shirt that says "I visited the mothership."

and when anything new Apple happens, you already told your friends and co-workers it was coming and they all come to you for more information.

This doesn't sound like an Apple Geek to me!

In this situation, after coming home with the MBP and your GF gets mad at you, she is the one to go -- not the MBP heaven forbid! ;)

When in the months before getting your MacBook, there was almost a whole week you couldn't stop dreaming about one, and had scattered dreams about walking outside and getting yours from the UPS/FedEx guy. :eek:

When you send moronic PM's pressing home your misguided or inaccurate Apple Fanboy points to someone who ultimately couldn't give a **** (but who merely deplores the blind commitment to Apple) :p

You know you are an Apple geek when...

... You owned an Apple ][.
... You have games for the Apple ][ that you wish you could play on your Mac.
... You know what happened to the 'closed apple' key.
... You always call it 'open apple' not command.
... You will always keep an older Mac around to play classic video games.
... You understand, that while there may not be as many video games made for Mac, those that only the good games get ported not just the dreck.
... You have been denied a job at an Apple Store because you are too knowledgeable.
... You get increasingly angry when you see an obvious attempt to hide the Apple logo on a computer on TV.
... You wish you could purchase one of the G4 cubes that ran the monitors on 'Star Trek: Enterprise.'
... You notice how many TV shows use the iSight to mimic security cameras, instead of getting real security cameras. (Enterprise did this for internal visual communication.)
... When someone asks you how to use AIM on their Mac, you about throttle them because they can use iChat. Then you explain that you use an alternative IM program that can interface with all IM systems.
... You want the 24" iMac.
... You own a Newton. It may have miserable battery life, and poor handwriting recognition, but you shove it in the face of Palm and Windows CE users because it was the first PDA, and is 10,000 times better than theirs.
... You saw the potential new interface for your Mac when you first saw the Wiimote.
... You purchased a bluetooth module for your PowerBook G4 Titanium just to use the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
... You constantly point out all the Macs on Television, much to the charin of your parents, roommates, friends, and partner.
... Your only regret, is not waiting until next Tuesday.

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. :p

"No escape from Reality...”
You keep every box, manual, twist-tie, plastic bag, and plastic cover, that your new Apple product came in.

You look for vintage Apple items on eBay as "complete in box" as possible.

You collect as much Apple catalog and marketing materials as possible.
