Gearhead ~ def. ~ a person who pursues mechanical or technological interests (as in automobiles or computers)
The first documented appearance of the word “nerd” is as the name of a creature in Dr. Seuss’s book If I Ran the Zoo (1950), in which the narrator Gerald McGrew claims that he would collect “a Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker too” for his imaginary zoo.
MyGear is dedicated to those products that I use extensively and exclusively or that I have used previously realizing at the time that they got it right the first time. Examples might include the Ford Model T, Volkswagen Beetle, Stetson Campaign Hat and DOS.
Did they improve on these products? Sure they did. But the initial offering was so solid that the basic product lives on deep inside the new offerings. Telling me that the initial idea was rock solid.
