Oh to be stuck with newbie geeks.
I was with a bunch of them in a project "war-room" and learned some shocking facts like:
"Halo", a game that's been around since at least 1997, was described as an "old classic game".
Not one of them had ever used a command prompt.
When an informal vote was taken to decide the music selection for the war-room, "dance music" won. DANCE MUSIC! When did geeks ever want to dance?
It is perfectly ok to post your "old geezer" comments now.

from the sound of it, looks like they were just "newbies" guising as "geeks".
anon: nah, every geek is a newbie some time :)
Yes, as anon said, put those n00bs in their place. All Your Base etc.

black mamba: guilty as charged. But if I whipped these puppies, I couldn't sleep at night.
km:

TR: Ahem. Unless, in the very unlikely event, they turn out to be geeky apsaras.
When did geeks ever want to dance? Richard Stallman did, to the consternation of the suits...

ah, a comment after my heart!
so you don't think the line "whup dat geeky apsara, man" has a certain ring to it?
TR: :-D It was a comment for my lonely heart.
so Doom for them must be, what, "ancient civilisation"?
I'm not going to say that. Recently, I've been hanging out a lot with, um, older people. My latest acquisition is a 33 year old guy who is totally a scottish, male version of me.
So yeah, we don't care about age anymore. It is all about the love, man.
Oh for the love of god!!
sai: OUCH. OUCH. That hurts, man. :)
??!: And Lara Croft is like the First Lady of video games.
Scout: No, it's all about the kilt, man.
