27A. Clue: There's a possible tenner in it to answer how nerds would never be without it.
8 letters - have: E ? T ? E ? E ?

Could it be Esteemed OR Extremes?
Help appreciated.

Jordan, thank you but it is not INTERNET as all the letters I have pertain to other answers that I believe to be correct.

Perhaps if you give us the clues which supply your first and second E’s we can find alternative answers

Thank you.
Clue 27D is: ...like some heroic one, a holy one. 4 letters.
Clue 23D is: Sounds like a measurement for King Midas, but that's the excitement. 6 letters

I see my error for 27D. It should be "icon" which would make INTERNET correct.

Yes, and the other one must be carrot. Well done on sorting it out yourself

i did think of carrot/carat, but the second definition (that's the excitement) is extremely loose!
