I used to think I could be classified as a computer nerd....until I met with a Linux user group and met some REAL computer nerds. Hehe. I think knowledge-wise I would definitely be a computer nerd, but I'm not your classic personal hygein lacking computer nerd with taped up glasses :)

depends on who I'm talking to. when I talk to my neighbor, I may as well live on my comp, she didn't even know what a file was :Q but just like slickwilly said, then I talk to other people and I am just a newbie ;)

I guess I would have to say yes, since I am learning linux on my own, for fun. :)

nerd is an insult.
geek is a compliment.

My name is Stark, and I'm a computer geek.

I'm definitely the geek in my group of friends. I'm always the one they ask for computer help. But some of the guys I work with, are definitely way more geeky than me.

I also concur with SlickWilly and Brooks. :)

A lot of my friends ask me also what to do when they can't get something to work. But I really don't like to call my self a geek. I would rather be referred to as GURU.

<-----I proudly wear the Nerd picture. :p

(I don't consider being called a Nerd an insult.)

But, I'm with Mday... I'm not a computer. ;)

I would consider myself a computer geek, or nerd. All my friends, relatives, parents' friends, etc always ask me for help. I take it as a compliment though.

Nope, I don't consider myself a computer nerd or geek.

In order for me to consider myself as such, I would have to be obsessed with computers/doing work, only talk about it, only care about it, etc... Spending time with my friends/family is of more importance to me than my computer. Simply spending alot of time using the computer would not classify me as a computer nerd or a geek.

Proud to be an American Computer Geek! It doesn't matter if you are a nerd or geek, after high school anyways. High school sucked. However, geeks make alot of money, and most of the people who made fun of you in high school are grease monkeys or failures...
