          Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. (Siddhartha Gautama - The Buddha), 563-483 B.C.

                  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.

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