why are people who are interested in computer and spend a lot of time with it called "nerds", and why are writers and musicians (for example) who spend at least the same amount of time for their work kind of heroes or something ????

actually i call those people "art fags", but then again i''m a nerd so who cares what i say right?
btw - "art fag" is not meant as a homophobic term, so please don''t anyone get all pissed about that...

Krez, consider using ''artsy fartsy'' instead. People in high tech always refer to artistically oriented people as ''artsy fartsy''. It''s like an industry accepted term.
