Re: Nerd(\')s(\') Day
Dr J,
Some of the more messed up members of my radio club back in New York used to celibrate William Kimler Day.
August 6th 1890
That was back when New York was a technology leader, and Tesla and Edison were fighiting for market share.
Or say it another way "A good convict conducts the maximum penalty in ampers".
Later dude

Sounds like nerds are grossly under-represented. How about the anniversary of the day the flashlight was invented?

How about either the birthdays of -
Lee DeForest (Vacuum tube, I think)
Thomas Edison (electric lights) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Philo Farnsworth (TV)
Since geeks have areputation for not getting out enough,
the date chosen should be during the warmer months!

Re: Nerd(\')s(\') Day
September 8 seems to be a good date.
September 8, 1966. That was when Star Trek first came on TV, broadcast by NBC.
