Vass0922,

A "Geek" is not specifically a Member of TecHIMO.

Surely, you aren't suggesting "TecHIMOeeks"

?

Errrr...What exactly is a Geek, anyhow ?

I always thought that term was a bit perjorative--sort of like if you were smarter than somebody about something , than you were dumber to be smart--or something like that.

Mostly people use the term "geek" with no ill-will .But sometimes they do.

I've also noticed a twinge of the "apologetic" when people refer to themselves as "geeks"--like, excuse me but sorry I'm smarter than you about..etc

But, Hey ! Up to you , Guy (or Gal).

YOURDOOOGOIDOLIANOAN,
