Geek 1: Depends on whether you want a seat in a chair or on a counter. Of course you could always BYOC ;-P
Geek 2: What's BYOC?
Geek 1: Bring your *own* chair. Also comes in handy for any parking lot mingling that may transpire, and being a magnet for the snickering and goading that will occur.

Geek 2: How much will it cost?

Geek 1: Yeah, me too: I gotta head down to the Toshi Station to pick up some power converters.
Geek 2: What?
Geek 1: Oh, sorry. I meant to Intrex to pick up a power supply. Doesn't have quite the same ring, does it.
