Nerd Test and Geek Quiz

I just made the test and got a nerd score of 87,
that means high-level nerd. What is your score ?
Do we have any supreme nerds here ?

You might also want to do the computer geek quiz
http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_cg.php

and if you succeed in both the loser quiz
http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_loser.php

Now, did I really need to waste 10 minutes on those silly quizzes? Of
course not, but since I did anyway, that must say something too :-)

88 - High-Level Computer Geek

what were all those Commodore 64 cracks anyway, the C64 was beneath
my contempt at the time!

47 - but then I wouldn't want to be cool either. Middle-of-the-road
for me!

I never had one, but I played with ones that other people owned. Same with
the Atari console.
First computer I owned was an Amiga 1000.

Now the Amiga rocked! Unfortunately, I could never afford one, so was
stuck on a Z80 CP/M system. But even that was infinitely better than
the C64! The successor to the CP/M box when it finally curled up its
toes was Linux running on a 486...

Jochen,

Interesting....I scored 99 on the nerdtest. Not sure if I should be happy with this or really, really scared for myself.

Warmly,

Nerd Test and Geek Quiz

While we are on quizzes try the Weekly World News quiz from the Beeb!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/4744544.stm

I surprised myself by getting 6/7. I'm sure many here can do better.
