I am sitting at my desk, two computers on and one of them finally went to the screen saver.  I have it set to show words and definitions.  The word GEEK was it.  I tend to consider myself a tech geek of sorts, not completely, but kinda of.  Not sure I really fit the description. Anyway, made me think!  How about you?

• [with adj. ] a person with an eccentric devotion to a particular interest : a computer geek.  (guess I fit this)
