Tim and Pete both make good points, but to harvest the fullest nerd potential
you'll need to combine their approaches. Grab an SGI workstation, rip out the
emasculated OS that it ships with and install Linux in its place. Then you get
maximum nerd value, plus you're trendy as well.
This will then give you the ability to sneer *twice* at everyone else, once as
a nerd and once as a fashionably independent computer guru.
Remember: "Nerd -- once it was a four letter word, now it's a six figure
income!"
Have fun,
