there are several types of geeks that regular this board, and I am interested to find out exactly what sort of numbers we're talking about here, the different types are as follows,
Computer Geek: you spend copious amounts of time on your computer, occasionally ripping it apart to insert a new video card, or to rip out the old maxtor hard drive that just crashed on you (AGAIN!!!), all your programs are consantly updated, and your backup system is as tight as a snare rush.
Videogame Geek: Playstation controller firmly in hand, you often skip days of School/Work/Uni so that you can finish off a game before you have to return it to the local video store, You emulate several different game systems and have complete rom sets, despite the fact that you owned the system at one point or another, and have played most of the games anyway.
Music Geek: You memorise releases by catalogue number, sort your releases by date / record label, etc... you have a sorted system of biographies, interviews, and pictures of all your favourite artists, and have several posters/shirts of each too
choose as many of the following options that apply to you,
Me: one of each
1..Computer geek 1..Videogame geek 1..Music geek

I'm definitly not a computer-geek. (i don't know what the hell goes on inside these mysterious boxes we call computers... i just know how to type on the keyboard and control the cursor with my mouse :-p I wouldn't even dream of ever opening the thing up!)
I am a videogame geek though, and a music geek. So add that to your stats.

I'm a combination of computer and music geek....I spend quite some time looking for new software, doing homework on my PC (for an ICT study) and MSNing. At the same time I ALWAYS have winamp playing music.
However your extreme descriptions don't go for me :)

1..Computerr geek Not me since I don't know a thing, as I have prroved in the past.
1..Videogame geek Sorrrry not me, I don't have a games console and I don't have any on my computerr
1..Music geek Music is "my thing" so maybe i'm a music geek but i don't memorrise rreleases by catalogue numberr orr anything, and my CDs arre simply in no orrderr otherr than all albums by one arrtist arre in the same spot. I used to have biogrraphies, interrviews, and picturres of all my favourrite arrtists but not now, and I still have severral posterrs/shirrts
So i'm a music geek, if that. I don't know. of each too

I actually don't have a lot of porn, only 200MB worth! Didn't one guy here have like 50 CD-Rs worth?
BUT... my 200MB is sparkly perfect, only the finest get into that folder. Only the strong survive. I don't share it on Soulseek or anything because it's a true work of art, and very personal to me.

I wouldn't class myself as a music geek as I'm far from obsessive as a record collector- I won't buy something for completions sake if I think it's poor or only mediocre or over priced.

i think i'm 40% a geek in all of those categories... in fact i must be the worst kind: i don't know a lot at all about computers, nor about music, and i'm not very skilled in video games either, but i still spend far too much time (most of my free time) in all these!! =/

computer geek...in a sense, i don't necessarily rip apart my computer, but i have a mac...and i do know what goes into it, and all the aspects of computers, so yes, in a way, but not as much as pc builders
videogame geek...yes, which i think would include cartoons/anime/movies/toy collecting! believe me, i have loads of toys
music geek...by far yes! everything is organized, properly labeled (if cdr), and CLEAN. i can't stand a skipping cd. plus i make loads of music. pity i don't put it up somewhere...zebox here i come!!
