    As far as I'm aware, or can find on the 'net, there is no existing common word for either of your expressions. Computer addict is a person addicted to computers.

    Then make one up. That's how words are formed. Of course, it only becomes a REAL word if you successfully get others to use the word in public.

    But... not all geeks are "crazy user of computer" or "computer addicted".

    I agree with matsp. As a noun, "computer addict" sounds like what you are looking for.

    You might want to read this first.
    I might be wrong.
