When a geek falls in love with another geek, a surefire sign of this:

"Would you like to, um, borrow my old laptop? On a kinda longtermish basis? It's sort of a really small desktop with a flatscreen..."

Also a sign of romance: when said geek of the first party makes a user account for the geek of the second party on her brand-new laptop -- and trusts him with administrative privileges.


I can see that I'll have to get that new keyboard on Wednesday.
