Cooking For Geeks
Comp geeks help me get my man a gift?
The guy I’m dating is having his 28th Bday this weekend. I want to get him some good little gifts. He is a computer tech and loves his sports cars (has 2). He is pretty much loaded and I am not, so I can’t really impress him with an expensive gift. I plan to cook for him a great meal, put on a sexy dance and all that sweet stuff, but I wanted to get him a gadget gift. He is “on call” for work alot and carries his lap with him 24-7. He picks up wireless to log on if he is not home for his support job. I saw this keychain that detects hot spots, is this a good gift or lame? I am not a comp geek (to bad they rock) and thus need help on deciding if this is cool or not. Any other under 50$ gift ideas are welcome. Thanks so much! Geeks RULE!
Heh, I bet he already has a flash drive 
You could still buy him a 4 Gig flashdrive, go to www.portableapps.com and install the portable apps suite into the new pen drive… that would be a nice gift. Easy to install, do not worry. Just save the installation kit just in case…
I like how persuasive you can be Sent From heaven
That is a nice gift actually, him lucky b…, guy… I would be happy only with the sexy dance…
The keychain would do
Think of what he needs or try to persuade him into telling you what he would need… The best gifts are the ones you trully need.
Ask a friend of him to tell him that he bought X item for his laptop…what would he like to buy/get…maybe he tells his friend what would be a good gift
