I own five theremins with a sixth on the way. Do I win?
Yes, but music-y stuff is not as geeky as computers. Multiply the number of theremins you own by 0.921....
Although to be fair, I think the theremin is the geekiest musical instrument ever....
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Theremins are way geekier than computers. The factor should be greater than one.

Well, the coolness factor of being a musician cancels out much of the geekieness of the theremin. So the factor 0.921 already takes that into account.

Hey. New board.
No, Theremin is totally geekier than computer.
The geekiest of all, though? The Theremin emulator for Palm OS. Discovered by me, accidentally, while hunting to see if I could find a SNES emulator (can't. Sega Genesis is a go, but no SNES. And the only NES emulator is non-free. Bah.)

That beats my Atari 400. I kinda wish I had kept my Atari ST, that was a oddball computer. I almost bought a used Lisa once, but I couldn't justify the money.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Unless you count my Radio Shack PC-1 (The first "pocket computer" - actually, a Radio Shack-badged version of the Sharp PC-1211.) Or my TI-55 programmable scientific calculator.

My first computer was my Atari 400. It was pretty fun to program too. They had a nicely detailed memory map and you just poked and peeked to make things happen. They had sprites, missiles, and all sorts of little graphic goodies in the memory map.

I also still have, and use, my HP 48SX. It still freaks people out to try to use it since it uses reverse polish notation.

We still have some HP calculators with RPN here at work.
