Actually i've changed my mind...
I'm definitly not a geek...
I'm just unable to fit into any of the definitions that are out there.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/geek
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=computer geek
http://www.darkwater.com/omni/geek.html
closest fit is number 3 here
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=geek
therefore... despite what DJ-Chris might think...
I'm definitly not a geek as I cannot be defined by the meaning of the word.
so I'm not a geek. I just know my stuff that's all. it's strange how the 'not-so-clever' elite has come up with some kind of label to discriminate against people.
when I first answered the question my assumed definition of geek was "someone who knew a lot about a specialist (usually technical) subject/s, (or at least thought they knew)"...
not the somewhat more popular definition it seems that I'm socially retarded just because I know more about computers that the guy sitting next to me...
