    Geeks rule the world--with a straight edge, of course--and they have become the sex symbols of the 90s. The Complete Geek (An Operating Manual) is for the millions of Americans eager to jump on the hot, new, fast track, because if you want a piece of the action, then you gotta learn the language.  Zeke the Geek--brought to life by renowned cartoonist Bruce Tinsley--browses through the basics of geek culture, which covers everything and anything to do with computers and life in the information age, including:
GeekSpeak--the geek's own colorful lingo
GeekChic and GeekGirlChic--How to dress for geek success, with never before shared tips on the forever classic pocket protector
Understanding the Geek Code after dark, in a section called, "Everything I Need to Know I Learned Late Last Night"
Netiquette--What every newbie needs to know before a maiden voyage online (You wouldn't want to flame someone you just met, would you?)
The first ever GQ exam to explore your Geek Quotient
The seven habits of highly successful geeks

For anyone who wants to win friends and influence geeks, The Complete Geek (An Operating Manual) is cRAMmed with the solid information that will unlock the gates to their universe....

    This is one of the freshest and funniest looks at life in cyberspace yet. It offers many giggles as the narrator--Zeek, an intelligent piece of software created by the largely anonymous "Bill G.," richest geek in the world--searches cyberspace for the meaning of life--or at least what it is that makes geeks what they are. The result is a way to assess your own GQ (Geek Quotient). Meanwhile, Bill G. is making notes in his super-secret journal and being abducted by aliens who want him to help them create a software monopoly of their own. Along the way you'll visit the Geek Hall of Fame, learn GeekSpeak, and figure out if you're in Geek Denial....

If you think nothing much is going on when Rupert P. Brown III begins sixth grade at Pepperdine Elementary School, you'd be dead wrong. Consider the following: a new teacher with the unlikely name of Miss Blossom; a new principal who has all the girls swooning; a talking bird who thinks he's a math whiz; a computer that goes berserk and produces a Web site called computowitch.com that not only displays some very ominous poetry, but whose password is the name of a witch Rupert has tangled with in the past. Yes, a witch!

Faster than you can say "witchcraft and wizardry," Rupert figures he could be in big trouble. He can really use the help of Miss Switch, a real, honest-to-goodness witch herself, who also, amazingly, was once a former popular teacher of Rupert's class at Pepperdine. He has reason to believe she's back, but where?

Once again, Rupert records another scary (well, sort of) and funny encounter with Miss Switch. His earlier accounts, equally scary and funny, appear in the books The Trouble with Miss Switch and Miss Switch to the Rescue....
