I don't know about the Geek code. I think it would take less time to read
someones profile (personal info) in paragraph form that to try to translate a
Geek code into data one can understand. You would always need a cheat sheet of

wrong. But that's only me. Looks like some of you have the Geek Code down to a
science. :-)
