Right, tot up your score, and divide it by 10. Look at the table below:
SCORE:
AVERAGE:
1-1.5: Novice computer user who just spends an hour a night on it chatting to his mates on MSN and playing Wolfenstein.
1.5-2.5: Advanced user who spends a lot of time doing stuff that's a bit geeky. You have bveen using computers for about 3-5 years
2.5-3: You have reached the Zen stage of computing and have advanced to a higher plane of reasoning and understanding. You also have a script that tells you how much porn you have.
3+: You have the intelligence of a pre-pubescent rabbit and need to learn how to do basic maths.

I still don't understand why it's not comparable... OK if this was about kitchen appliances, then you'd be right, but this was about Computers/OS's, of which, I beleive, a Macintosh is and uses it's own stand alone OS?
OK, so it's not Win or Linux, but it's still more accessable and available to the domestic market than Linux!!
Is your prejudice because of:
A) It's not linux or
B) You don't know anything about them and it's not Linux:-)?

Grix, if you can't argue a point properly, don't get one of your cronies to come along and back you up. I'm not stupid, I can tell what's going on here.
So? It is genrally better than Windows. However, it's not better at everything.

Oh yeah, I see what you mean now. It is quite balanced, isn't it?

The more you know about computers... yet in your eye's a Mac isn't a computer? That's a bit closed minded isn't it?;-)
> And Bill Gates is a fairly nice guy. He gave £2billion to charities last year.
The Mafia does this every year yet they ain't nice people!! Giving money to charity doesn't justify how nice you are!!

Any Bill Gates is a fairly nice guy. He gave £2billion to charities last year, and seems really nice on World Business Report interviews.

Bill Gates is not a nice guy. He is a successfull businessman, and therefore cannot have been a nice person. He started making his fortunes by selling DOS to companies... but not selling them all the same version. Give someone DOS 1.. then tell the next person they can have DOS 2.. go back and say that XXX has DOS 2 to the first company... sell them DOS 3... etc
He also had a rather heated argument with AOL (broadly speaking).
"I could buy part of your company, I could buy all of your company, or I could destroy you in the marketplace" he said, before they made it big. He went on to fail, but he wasn't exactly nice about it all. Now he wants to abolish Java support, as it's a potential threat to him.
Yeah, real nice bloke.
Now, most of the rest of the quiz is Linux Vs Windows. Here we have the steriotypical "The more you know about computers, the more you should like Linux" theme, which is absolute rubbish.
Linux has an abyssmal driver database, and relatively little support. If you love spending hours trying to get everything to work, then yeah, it's great. Windows may hog four times as much of the system resources, and crash more often, but it gets things done, and it makes life simple.
Linux does crash. Linux is fiddly.

Grix, why are you being so difficult? You enjoy winding me up don't you!

Yeah, but "What do you use your PC for?" still doesn't make you any more of a better person with computers than anyone else.
This is no more than a "How much are you like Turbonutter questionnaire?"
