But he was saying that he thought we would *not* like Taylor Swift. I don't like her music, but now the she is 21 years old I guess it's OK to admit that she looks pretty good even though I'm probably older than her dad. ;-) Obviously, a lot of the Linux Geek types like scifi/fantasy in films and books, at least more than the average person, but we probably don't want to be stereotyped. I would add LoTR to your suggestions of Star Trek and Star Wars. Probably Battlestar Galactica? I never watched it much but thought it was well-liked. There are certain movies that are popular with computer people, like Blade Runner. I liked A.I., too. Do a lot of people here also like Steam Punk? Mike
