Cuban Gets His Nerd On

In case you forgot that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, despite being known by most merely as a loud-mouthed dolt, is, deep down, a complete and total computer tech dork. To remind you, Cuban talks about his new Icerocket search engine on his Blog Maverick blog (and that sentence isn't half the nerd part of it):

There are some fun things happening in the blogosphere. It reminds me of 20 years ago on the CompuServe Forums.

There were forums for every topic possible. Politics, technology, religion, music, you name it , it was there.

One of the fun "sports" on the technology forums where I hung out was to play the "I m smarter than you" game. These were nerd versions of rap wars that occurred on every forum. I have to admit I used to love to battle it out on the networking forums.

Ethernet vs Token Ring vs ArcNet. Netware vs Banyan vs Lan Manager. Which servers were best. Lotus Notes vs anything at all. It was a blast to try to match wits and to see where the rest of the CompuServers would come in.

God bless 'em; the dude was rolling 10-sided die. That explains so much.
