Last party I went to there were literally no non-techies present. That kind of fact would definitely have gotten you some points.

Good or bad? I'm not sure. At least you know some non-techies. In my social circle, being a windows user marks you as a target for victimisation. Using IE makes you an enemy. Not even knowing about OSs and their politics - let alone physics - makes you a second class subhuman non-participant.

Again, good or bad? I'm not sure. Time will tell I guess
