Do I look Like I Speak Geek?

Some how I was able to make myself look like an idiot in my Design class. To sum up the discription of the class, it is pretty much a crash course in InDesign, Illustrator, and PhotoShop. Since yesterday was the first day of class, our teacher decided to give us a breif history of computers. He started talking about IBM and their old computers. He then asked who owned a PC computer. I was one of the only four people to raise my hands. Of course the rest of the class owned the design student's coveted MAC.

My teacher then started to tell us that IBM used to be the sole name of computers. Every computer had IBM's name on it. He then said that Windows was a branch off of IMB. He then asked each PC owner to raise their hand again. He pointed to me and said "What make of IBM computer do you own?" I wasn't quite sure what he was asking. I didn't know if he was talking about the brand or a certain geek speak that I wasn't familiar with. So thinking on my feet I replied, "I don't know." He then said, " Are you serious?" Then he went to the next girl. She said "Acer." Oh My Gaa- Of course he meant brand, Brittany. What else would he be talking about? I guess I will always be known for being the girl who didn't know what brand of computer she owns. Oh- And for the record, it's a 2008 Dell Inspiron Laptop.
