Really likes entertaining technology figures (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

digits

'figures' is the definition.
(I know this)

'really likes entertaining technology' is the wordplay.
'really likes' becomes 'digs'.
'entertaining' indicates putting letters inside (inviting in, as for dinner).
'technology' becomes 'IT' (Information Technology).
'digs' enclosing 'it' is 'DIGITS'.

(Other definitions for digits that I've seen before include "Numbers 0 to 9" , "Fingers, toes and numbers" , "One to nine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
