A thread titled Hands up who is a Geek!! at ukbusinessforums has given a mention to the 3 mobile broadband dongle.

Seemingly a call to action aimed at the nerd world, or a thinly veiled blog promotion by the thread originator (you decide), it has courted a response from Carl-CSNM on the subject of mobile broadband. His response is a glowing recommendation for the 3 service, stating he has not yet been let down by the little plug and play fellow. And although he honourably doesn’t mention who his home broadband provider is, he caps his post as such, “I get higher speeds via [the 3 dongle] than I do my fixed broadband line.”

Should you want to read Carl-CSNM’s post straight from the horses mouth, or discuss whether ‘geek’ can be a term of endearment, then you could do a lot worse than visit this thread. What I’d like to see answered is how one distinguishes between ‘geek’ and ‘nerd’, or if in fact there is a difference? I’ve never been sure.
