I don’t get it. Or maybe I am not expected to understand it. Yesterday I went to a local Best Buy retail store to pick up a USB Flash Drive. After doing a quick price comparison I ended up purchasing the Greek Squad (the Best Buy) branded product. The next day I took the device into work and just as I was about to open it I quickly glanced at the back of the package and noticed: “Compatible with Windows 2000 SP4/Windows XP/Windows Vista/ Windows 7, Mac OS 10.x and above.“

From the summary:
Quoting:...I ended up purchasing the Greek Squad (the Best Buy) branded product.
For a clue, see the author's name.
Nice catch. It has been corrected.
By your name, I was guessing that your fingers might be more used to typing "Greek" than "geek." ;)
Habit, i guess. ;-)
The Greek Qquad... I like it! Wait... if that retailer opens up a store in Athens they will have a Greek Geek Squad.
True story:

I'm Eastern Orthodox. When I lived in Silicon Valley, I attended one of the older Russian churches there. Like every other church in the San Francisco Bay Area, they had several members working in the tech sector. I was working for a startup; another member was a network admin for one of the school districts; another member had a Windows helpdesk background; the subdeacon was a VMS admin for Moffitt Field (NASA); the choir director had worked at one of Sun Microsystems' chip fabs, back in the day.

Because the church was Russian and not Greek, we called ourselves "Geek Orthodox."
LOL. @gus, that is funny.

Sadly, not my own.
