After the boys talking in binary and hex above I just wondered what the most geeky possession you all have is ?

One of the guys in the office has a binary wrist watch - which is gonna take some beating .

I wear a green wax anorak to work, and to the pub, and to bed - does that count?

Rohloff Speedhub. Only the beardiest of cyclists would even know what one is, let alone be daft enough to want one.

It would have to be a tie between my lucky lab coat (every stain tells a story ) and my collection of original MS DOS disks going all the way back to DOS 1.0

Would they be the high density 1.2M or the low density 360k ones?

I have MS Basic on 5¼ somewhere.....

That watch says 10:15, right? It's been a while!

My latest geeky item is this T-shirt from www.scoobymods.com :

I've got a pen/pencil holder I made at school about 15 years ago next to me..... Plain and simply a Tomato Soup & Baked Bean & Sausages Tins superglued together with a "lid-less" can of Sprite at the front for stability/looks.

Possibly not geeky, just pretty sad.


Cheers,
Grant
