- not only do you own a backup leatherman tool, but you have the
attachment with the socket and torx wrenches.
- You own more than one GPS receiver.
- You don't really know exactly how many Gigs of storage you have online
at home.
- You backup music CDs.
- You have a USB storage device on your keychain.

- You're in Colorado, on ski lift with a breathtaking mountain view. "Hmmm...
that's probably an inductive sensor which verifies that the cable is actually
on the pulley, but what's that other one for?"

Re #5: now, why would having more than one GPS receiver mean you are a
geek? The technology improves, after all, and you don't just want to sell
the last one you bought when you upgrade, much less throw it away.
Besides, it is convenient to have a receiver in each of your vehicles and
your jump kit, as, gee-wizz, you never know when you might need to know
where your are or record a location. And besides, the earlier ones didn't
have an interface for a DGPS receiver, so your accuracy was impaired. I
just think it is unfair to characterize someone that just wants to have
good accuracy as a GEEK!

Honestly, I would qualify for a lot of things mentioned in #1 but I
still consider myself to be a wannabe-geek.
