So it's something like when we straight people call our wives/gfs "our better halves"? (Which is, of course, BS, since I am the better half )
I take it your wife isn't looking ?

She's phoning since two hours in the other room with a friend about ... ummm ... veeeeeeery important things (i.e. meaningless babble ), so I have what we call a "jester's license".

IMHO, the main difference between geeks and non-geeks is that geeks think that tweaking, fixing, and understanding computers has a meaning by itself, which justifies they devote their life to it.
For the non-geek, a computer is a tool, which has better to work. For the geek, a computer is a center of attention, that must reflect the geek exactly.
I think geeks are simply obsessed with computers (I mean, the computers themselves, not some kind of actually useful or entertaining application). Much like some people are obsessed with their cars, with their house's decoration, with their pets etc.
Geekdom is a rich and wonderful world. There are scifi geeks, math geeks, science geeks, literary geeks, and, yes, even computer geeks.
Everything worth doing in the world is done by geeks.
