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.

Do you mean Equity. Only the Holy Book can solve it. Human Inteligence cannot because they differ.

By the Great Prophet Zarquon, you're right. Only the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy can solve it. The answer's 42 dagnabit.

Ay yes, the only holy book worth the name. All others are works of fiction written by shepherds on hills thousands of year ago, THHGTTG is the Ultimate Truth! (Written on a Lisa I believe!)

I didn't recognize any of them, but I got 4 by random selection.

8/10 at age 29, thats harsh :(

6/10 - but I'm only 29....
It definitely isn't definatley
6/10 here as well. I'm also 29, but many of them were unfamiliar due to them not being marketed in the United States (such as Amstrads, Acorns, and Sinclairs). The first one (which looked straight out of the original Star Trek series), I only knew from knowing the history of computer games.
I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...
I usually have an answer though.

Yes, it is:
Dec | Oct
0 | 0
1 | 1
2 | 2
3 | 3
4 | 4
5 | 5
6 | 6
7 | 7
8 | 10
9 | 11
10 | 12Classic joke (perhaps misquoted): Why do Unix sysadmins confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Dec 25 = Oct 31

Well, I scored a 5 so 9 should be OK for you. ;P
