well i guess i am on the geek train :)
...its saturday right?
(sunday doesnt start till 2 pm)
Back when I was in highschool, my school had one of the first computer labs in the state of Louisiana. We'd crack open the PC cases and disable the speaker so we could play games like defender during the lecture -
Being dis-satisfied with how quickly my walkman "ate" batteries, I made my own power adapter and wired it to the biggest lantern battery I could buy at Radio Shack - that I carried in a belt pouch. and that was 17 years ago -
So yeah - I qualify, but I'm also a media junkie so the computer doesn't win out over the TV, but it's a close race.....
I'd add a #6 - you just can't bring yourself to buy your own PC "off the shelf" - but at the bare minimum have to buy at least two devices to add into it or just end up building the whole thing yourself.

Do you have more than one computer? Three.
Do you get questioned about computer stuff more than 100 times a day? Not that many times, usually. But I get asked alot. Yesterday while I was waiting in line at Fry's to return my IBM HDD, some older guy was asking me how to setup a home network.. he went blank when I mentioned "ping" so I gave him my biz card.. (I hope he calls for tech support..) ;)
Do you help people without pay on computer just 'cause you know? Yeah... sometimes. Depends.. but I'm getting better. ;)
Do you have your computer hooked to your TV...and never watch the TV? No, but I have it hooked up to my stereo receiver for sound. I listen to tv, tho :)
Do you spend your Sat. Nights on a help forum? *sigh* yes. lol
Do I qualify for g33K3tt3 status? :D
