Heh, I got 47.92899% - Super Geek. I've also got a few more things that
should be on the list...
- You have at least one computer that is more than 10 years old.
...on the internet.
...that you use daily.
- You have more than ten different types of magnetic media.
...not including audio or video media.
- You have some 8" floppies.
...and a computer that uses them.
- The lights dim when you turn on one of your computers.
...or send something to your printer.
- The keyboard on your most powerful computer is more than ten years
old, and the computer is new.
- You know the exact formatted capacity for more than three types of
media.
...and unformatted.
- You have an Atari 2600.
...and you have rolled the score on Asteroids
...twice or more.
- You have repaired things that others have deemed unfixable.
...on many occasions.
- The people at Radio Shack know you by name.
- You know what a 7404 does.
- There are at least four empty cans from a caffeinated beverage on
your desk.
- You have a computer that won't fit through the door.
- You have ever recorded Star Trek on Umatic tape for better picture
quality.
- Your car has at least four extra computer parts in it.
- You moved to another state, and one large moving van was filled
entirely with computers.
- You know _exactly_ what causes a vertical line down the center of the
screen on a compact mac.
- During a power outage, you rigged an Atari to run off batteries and
used it with a battery powered TV.
The sad thing is that all of those apply to me...
