    What is a fanboy? Here's one definition from the Urban Dictionary:

    "A passionate fan of various elements of geek culture (e.g. sci-fi, comics, Star Wars, video games, anime, hobbits, Magic the Gathering, etc.), but who lets his passion override social graces."

    What I found the most funny though was that the author couldn't make the difference between an apple II and a Macintosh :D

    Nope, I have never owned an apple computer. :)
    All it takes is a google search to see what they look like. It is impossible to mistake them.
    justfuckingoogleit you could say.

    I like how all the music bands there are either rock or alternative. Everyone likes rock and alternative.
