It's hard for you to be around non-geeks sometimes. First of all, they don't know the difference between Firefox and Windows. Which is just - what the hell. And second of all, they don't know WTF they are talking about when they say Next Gen is better than original Trek. Sometimes you just can't stop yourself from correcting them, and then they get these really weird looks on their faces which just make them even more hard to understand. Better to hang out with geeks who understand why you are angry.
Hmm... what have I gotten myself into, I wonder.. hehe
