Considering how you have ridiculed WoodP for his use of Linux and the tone/inflection of your past comments, I'm ABSOLUTELY positive (not really) that you meant "geeks" in anything BUT a derisive manner.
Regardless, you should give Linux a try, after the talk about it here and a few of my "geek" friends swearing by it for awhile, it's incredibly impressive and it costs as much as you donate to the developers.
As for inadequacies, I'm not the one boasting about my possessions constantly and what I do with them.
Remember how you bragged about you getting your iPhone a day before launch, which really wasn't necessarily important to the post/thread?
Or any other time you post about your gadgets, the constant need to post the brand/model/purchase date/time.
As for "fiddling" or "playing" with technology, isn't that the appeal of anything in today's current product market?
Fiddling with apps, touching the screen, being able to send pictures from vacation spots?
...that's the WHOLE IDEA and appeal to begin with.
ie - going on your trip to Africa and sharing photos via your iPad....big whoop.
Inadequacies? yaaaa....
