Actually i'm a geek, and yes there is a difference;

A geek is someone that uses their field for productivity or pleasure, and has accumulated - through a desire to enjoy their experience more or become more proficient at a task.

A Nerd is someone that has taken their use of a tool or discipline and raised it so that they no longer value the result of it more than the tool or discipline itself.

Oh i proudly say that i'm a computer geek, nothing wrong with it, i enjoy playing games and working on computers, it's really too bad people see that as having no life, and think of this group of people as overweight low-lifes that live with their mom, when in most cases it's the exact oppossite, most of the top end gamers are people that are succesful and are just good at what they do ;).
