Ryan Tubridy rattled on at length about being a nerd this morning, much to the amusement I’m sure of many of his listeners. Of course, he has no idea what the difference is between a geek and a nerd, and when someone mentioned Unix and Linux the poor fella sputtered and guessed that “Linus Paul” was the creater of Linux. I wonder did anyone text in with the correct answer? *grin*
