    I'm a computer operator. At least, according to this test: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~scook/tech/hacker.htm[^] When you take it, you must put your score in the subject line of your response.

        It's a version of the Purity Test. And it's pretty old. Halon dump - check Paper tape - check Taking the drive out for a walk - check Standards group - barred for life Wrecked the flyback transformer (old VGA bug) - check Contributed to the Hackers Dictionary - check HP11C - check (RPN dammit) Toggled boot boot - check (fingers still after 20 years) Caps lock - check, got the patch from sysinternals.com to turn it off, too. Self modifiying code - check, and right now, too God, does anyone remember Altair? And why it was named that?

                The test seems kind of dated to me. I'd probably score half what I did if I didn't spend six months hacking into a VAX mainframe in a local college, while simultaneously failing a Computer Operators course because I thought it was beneath me.

                  :-D I actually roomed with the guy who wrote "Hunt The Wumpus". He lives in Santa Cruz now and goes by the name "Hara Ra". [edit] and when I was in eighth grade, I had the front panel bootstrap toggle sequence memorized for the PDP-11 my school was using. I had to use it frequently because the mag-tape drive was connected to the same power supply as the CPU, so if it the motor drew too much power, it crashed the computer. I remember touching a core memory I found in some junk electronics store![/edit] Those were the days... Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

                            A bit historical. :-) you gotta be a bit dated to score high. I appreciate the phreaking mentions and all, remembet building Minix, and doing self modifying code on the 6502-- sometimes via straight hex in the monitor. but *sigh*... no mention of my love the Atari and TOS. I miss her. sniff. ;-) Oh yeah. and vector displays, those RULED. LOL.

                                        Somehow I'm both proud and ill when I think about this. Up until recently I did have a naked 5 1/4 disk hanging on my wall for example, eek. David

We do have an emoticon for that: eek == :eek:; But I have come to the conclusion that everybody who scored higher than I did is waaay older than I am. ;P
