Every one should look up the actual definition of 'NERD'. This acronym comes from a paper written for 'Psychology Today' in the '80's. Neurally Enhanced Raster Development. A NERD is a tall (6'2" or taller), nearsighted and a genius. Not fix computer software and hardware smart. The only NERD I know personally invented virtual reality hardware and software.
There is a big difference between a computer tech weenie and a NERD.
