I'm probably classified as a psuedo-geek.  I repair all kinds of
computer/electronics related hardware (primarily printers in my current
job), which is pretty solidly in the range of geekdom, but it's a 9-to-5
deal with me.  I enjoy it - it's fun & challanging - but I leave it at work,
and hardly ever think about it on my own time, which is typically listed as
a requirement for true geekhood - that it isn't just a job.
