In the INC.com article they address the definition of a geek. The article describes it as “Geek: Someone with an intense curiosity about a specific subject. Not limited to tech–there are also gaming geeks, music geeks, etc.”
I think that’s pretty good description. The article has my new favorite acronym,
ID10T (pronounced Eye-dee-ten-tee): The user is an idiot. Used in tech support when passing along said idiot to some other sucker to deal with: “I’ve got an I-D-ten-T coming your way.”
Priceless.
