I don't really see what's so bad about thw rod geek. Cuz you know, you could pick much worser things than that, and Gekk has a lot to do with knowledge. Probably a lot of the poeple here who have 20+ posts are geeks, so why not?
 
Hey! Hows about if your a real olg geezer like me and a geek too. I started programming on IBM model 60. Temperature and humidity controled room, paper tape and paper card programming and a hard drive the size of a house and 6 discs tall.
Hmmmmm, perhaps thats where the term ogre came from, geek and geezer?
Can't spell either!
 
Geek is a perfectly reasonable term - just like the other terms for people that I can think of:

Kalthorn's List of Stereotypes in order of superiority said:
Geek = A Person who is on a Computer for too long, and knows just a little about them. Geeks can be intelligent to a point; lowest form of life

Mac-Freak = A Geek who likes Macintosh (shudder). A very low form of life.

Goth = Some Vampire Freak like my sister; like black etc etc and so on.

Propa Goff = A Jock Goth; the original form of Goths even using the ancient Jock form of Goth, Goff.

Linux-Folk = A Geek who likes Linux (shudder again)

Jock = People who may be able to use Computers but do not spend their life's work on them - can be intelligent to a point. There are many sub-forms of Jocks

Brainiac = A very intelligent person, can be any of the other types of people.

Brainiac Geek = A Brainiac Geek is very intelligent and uses computers all the time - knowing a great deal about them. A Nerd may be a Linux-Folk or Mac-Freak, or neutral, but cannot be insane about Microsoft. Second Highest Form of Life.

Nerd = The highest form of life; a Brainiac who knows all about computers, is highly intelligent, and loves Microsoft. A race unto itself.

i HATE when people call me computer geek/nerd. i want to take 'em down! i hate it because i know that if they didnt know that i am good with computers, and that i am very smart, they would not call me that. it pisses me off.

Same, even if they mean well I still don't like being called that.
 
Any remotely intelligent person can figure out how a computer works. It doesn't need a special kind of person, or "computer geek" to figure it out. All you need to do is have the curiosity to open the side of the case and look.
