    Default Does this make me a total geek ?

    Long story short: yesterday I discovered how I could log on to a lab computer running Linux from my own computer at home running Windows, I thought this was très cool. I believe I actually made excited noises out loud (the "cool !" and "woohoo !" kind, you pervs).

    Have I totally passed on to the dark side on computer geekdom now ?

    Yes.

    Actually, I'd be excited about that as well but I'm lacking the incentive to bother with Linux.


    Can anyone tell me why the spoiler tags don't work? Anything changed? Can't I spell anymore? Am I not enough of a geek to be allowed to use them?

    vb code is on, it says for me. And they do seem to work in the backroom whenever someone uses them. But here I can't see any spoiler.
    Being good geeks, we have to find out what causes this and pray to Tosa for help.
