ser geek es algo caro verdad.


creo que nadie de la plebe podria aspirar a serlo

[Vicco]

Yo creo que geek no necesariamente aplica a conocimiento avanzado de tecnología, se puede ser geek de cualquier tema, siempre y cuando sea alguien muy clavado en el mismo tema, un comic-geek, movie-geek, techno-geek, cooking-geek, etc.
