geekyderekSwanky aviator shades (I think they were photosensitive too) Hidden orthodontic appliance causes chipmunk cheeks Major bowl cut Super-cheap windbreaker Faux-suede blazer Collar is WAY too big for pencil-necked geek (shirt probably passed down from dad) Silk and mohair tie from France, ruined by being tied way too short Sans-a-belt elastic wasteband slacks Computer Fair exhibitors badge! Geek ID! Wouldn't be complete without the briefcase. Not real leather, of course. Apple, Epson, and other geek brands of the '80s Dumbo ears (have become less prominent with age) Note cooling fan attached to side of Apple II Nope. NEVER been laid yet when photo was taken. No surprise. Hands behind back, posture slightly tilted. Even the pose is geeky.
See penmachine.com/geekyderek.html for an explanation. And don't forget the Photoshopped version. I was about sixteen years old, setting up a booth at the Vancouver computer fair for the Apple Alliance computer club.
