Thanks Naita; I may well concede to one of your requests as regards version 1.2, now.

I'm trying it. I'm a Geek of Zork, so i put GZORK. heh. Otherwise, i'll try GS/GM if that's no good. Otherwise, my data conforms to the geek code linked to at geekcode.com i think, if it doesn't, please somebody tell me!

I'm also figuring my h2g2 Code. check My Space to see how far i'm getting. it's not done at this point.

Why doesn't somebody invent a Nerd Code? maybe i will. And that one guy who invented the Geek Code should update it. it's soooooo old. OhWell.

Why would anybody want a nerd code? The word "nerd" is basically nothing but a rude alternative for the word "geek".
I consider myself to be a geek (I'm actually kind of proud of it, too) but if anyone called me a nerd I'd truly feel offended.

Geek and Nerd were fairly synonymous, and equally rude. Both of them were adopted by geeks and nerds as a positive label, but geek had a much greater success. Maybe in part because it had a bigger focus.

Well, nerds have a nice logo, from the Wonka Company. See http://nerd_42.tripod.com/ for how I've used it.

I think I will write an alternate Nerd Code that is much easier to remember. Hmm.
