    Identical score here.... In my case I got cheated - most of the questions were about recent inventions, not the geek toys I loved. Slide rules, binary digital clocks, photo darkroom in my bedroom closet, with foil in the cracks to block light, chemistry sets, crystal radios, homemade tube amplifiers, Altair8800, SN74180 ALUs, the good stuff!:-D RPGs in my neighborhood involved cowboys, indians, and cap guns.

              That was a long quiz. Too many questions, I nearly got bored. Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

                  Should I be ashamed? Or proud? :-D [EDIT] as my score seems to be the highest up until now, I think I should be worried :~ :~ [/EDIT] I prefer to wear gloves when using it, but that's merely a matter of personal hygiene [Roger Wright on VB] Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

                                I know. :rolleyes: Seeing the questions on that test was a stark reminder of how different I feel now. The only section I scored "highly" on was the one about computer skills. Now if I did a "how big a tart are you?" type test (you know, the ones where you get a bonus for having bedded more than one person at the same time ;)), then I'd be in the running...:laugh: Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.
