A slight bump, but I found a couple of articles that might be of interest to nerds/geeks. Seems like geeks are kinda prone to have <a href='http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers.html' target='_blank'>Asperger's syndrome</a>, a mild form of autism. You can also take an <a href='http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html' target='_blank'>autism quotient test</a>, though bear in mind that the results aren't conclusive.

Oh thank god..I have my itunes window, 3 internet sites, a document folder, and a *cough* program.
Right now just Opera (one tab) and an MSN messenger convo, although I only logged in 2 minutes ago. Usually I have at least 4 browser tabs open, MSN messenger, possibly my downloads folder if i've been downloading, and maybe a game.
Let's see...

Replying to this thread <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Beats you all.
Ever since I got firefox, I browse with an average of 5 tabs open, constantly flipping around while another tab loads. as for apps, I have 2 folders open, winamp, and azureus. When I'm working on something, I get dreamweaver, photoshop, and context running as well.
As I was reading it I was not quite sure what it was yet I had about 4 forum windows open, 2 MS Word documents with half finished homework assignments in them, another MS Word to correct the spelling of my forum posts, an AIM window, an annoying MSN window from some kid who I don’t want to talk to right now, and I was thinking of playing some NS. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I just had to sit back and laugh when I realized what this article was talking about.
