    8 and I never really liked computers at that time, all those years ago.

    I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

                4 correct guesses out of 10. Seriously though, how much time does a person spend looking at their hardware unless there's something wrong with it? I can barely tell you what my monitor looks like because unless there's smoke coming out, I'm only looking at the brightly lit part with the text and pictures.
