   SF fandom but reported to have originated at Caltech in the 1970s]
   One who is fascinated by computers.   Less specific than {hacker}, as
   it need not imply more skill than is required to boot games on a PC.
   The derived noun `neeping' applies specifically to the long
   conversations about computers that tend to develop in the corners at
   most SF-convention parties (the term `neepery' is also in wide use).
   Fandom has a related proverb to the effect that "Hacking is a
