The idea originates in one "Beth Z" who engages public speaking, has authored various things, and is a self ascribed and proud denizen of Nerdvana that domain of perfect nerddom to which we all have aspired at one point or another ...
I'm not one to pursue that nerd that dwells within me. My career has pretty much shouted volumes toward that end and I have a lot of war stories and historical data to spare.
I don't subscribe to anything too nerdy because those technical pursuits in my CV say it all.
Also, the cutesy cutsey aspects of being a nerd hold little interest as well.
Maybe if I were younger. I started out in 1979 and therefore predate the personal computer by a number of years. I was immersed in minis until the micros hit the scene. Yet still while I engaged CP/M and the IBM-PC came out the following month.
Needless to say, you won't find me all gushingly praising microsoft because the brains in that organzation died with Paul Allen. Bill Gates bought an operatings system from which MS-DOS was developed.
For that reason in particular the entire microsoft line remains a low tech abomination for both the initiated as well as the technically savvy.
