A GEARU is a person who is incredibly proficient with all things technical. Be it a complicated video system, a new computer program, or simply a high tech toaster, this is the person everyone turns to for technical assistance. Some
people have taken this ability to an even higher level and approach a near zen
like aptitude to know what every button does on every machine. A true GEARU exudes a calm and confident
aura of proficiency. They have transcended the minor
label of computer geek and become the true guru of gear, the GEARU. Also known as "the keeper of the knobs".
"I've been working for hours trying to get this video system to work. No matter how many times I
try to set it up it
just doesn't want to operate. I guess I'll have to call
Conrad, he's a real GEARU when it comes to these things."
