Can You "Guess The Geek?"
We've all had a bit of good-natured fun lately poking at pt's advertisements depicting Pocket PC "experts.".
A few of you have even tried to figure out who the various super-geek "superdudes" are in the photos. Well, why don't you take your best shot and see how close you can come? The first person who guesses correctly gets to be forever immortalized on the front page of Pocket PC Thoughts. Oh, and only people who do not already personally know the super-geeks are eligible. <!>
I'll even make it easier for you; I'll give you a list of possible identities for these guys:
� Jason Dunn, Pocket PC Thoughts Executive Editor
� Foo Fighter, Pocket PC Thoughts Reader
� Rob Borek, Microsoft Mobile Devices MVP
� Brad Adrian, Pocket PC Thoughts Contributing Editor
� Arne Hess, Microsoft Mobile Devices MVP
� Ed Hansberry, Pocket PC Thoughts Contributing Editor
� Frank O'Baily, Pocket PC Thoughts Reader
� Dale Coffing, Pocket PC Passion Editor
� Andy Sjostrom, Pocket PC Thoughts Contributing Editor
� Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO
� Marlof Bregonje, Pocket PC Thoughts Contributing Editor
� Phillip Torrone, Pocket PC Magic Editor
Just respond with who you think is denoted by:
A
B
C
D
E
F
[Note: I have been asked by those in the photographs to clarify that they (the photos) were altered in order to deliberately make them look geeky and unattractive. In real life, they're uber-studs.]

I cannot guess the whole list, but I'll give you what I am quite sure of:
A. Philip Torrone
D. Foo Fighter
Besides that, I am quite sure that Arne Hess, Dale and Andy are NOT in the pictures.
The rest is with you....

I absolutely know none of these posters personally or by any pics posted on the website.
So my guess should be interesting.
A. Look like a "foofighter"
B Rob Borek
C Andy Sjorstom
D Jason Dunn...
E Marlof Bregonje
F Phillip Torrone
So now you have the opinion of a complete outsider.
Funny, if they are trying to look like supergeeks...they are not doing a great job!
