Hi...

Does anyone know what Mexican geeks call themselves, in the way that US geeks call themselves "geeks".

Thanks,

Tom

I have heard two words -- geek and friki. Say friki out loud. Smile

The computer guys I know tend to use English terms even when there are Spanish equivalents.

I have put together a rather large Spanish<>English lexicon of computer terms.
