Where do you go if you’re a computer geek who wants the latest software but feels uncomfortable about hacking in to government computers like all your mates who think it is perfectly OK? Good question. Ethics huh? They get everywhere. Well, I’ll tell you where you need to go if that’s you: you get your weak boney backside to www.geeks.com, that’s where!

This is all alien to me, to be fair, but I’m going to do my best to try and describe this site for you, thus allowing you to make an informed decision about going there or not, and keeping your street cred in tact. If you’re a geek—or a geekazoid as some people in my neck of the woods like to call this sublimely strange race–—then you’ll probably have heard about it in Geek Times or whatever magazine is all the rage for those who have an I.Q. of 200 or over. If not, read on.

OK, so www.geeks.com is all about providing geeks, ethical geeks / nerds / dorks etc with the best computer software. Whatever your fancy, be it stamp-collecting or extreme computer stroking—don’t laugh, I am sure it exists!—you’ll find it at this site in copious amounts.

Now, here’s the thing: I can’t really see how this website is any different than a conventional high-street store type thing. But I suppose that is to be expected, seeing as I know next to nothing about being a geek. But there is plenty to feast your eyes on: there are pictures, specifications, little geeky symbols everywhere and everything you could ever need to feel completely at home if you’re that way inclined.

So really quickly, I have something to admit. I love Number 6 (sorry Naomi). I was going through the last season on dvd well into the night and the acting was remarkable! I would highly recommend this one to all of you…
