Jon Katz thinks it's a great time to be a geek in America. The Internet has liberated all those pale-faced alienated youths without dates for Saturday night and installed them at the controls of the information economy.

And the geeks have triumphed now over the suits and the old elite's. Finally there's geek justice.
