I am an Uber Cool Nerd God - something is very wrong with that test. Or it needs more shades of meaning. Frex, I used Fortran for one summer school class, really it shouldn't count for much.
But I do actually have a pocket protector! With a picture of Bob Frankston on it! And three (3) slide rules. And 2 Apple ]['s. (I have to keep saying all this as much as possible, because we're moving into a smaller place and it won't be true this time next year :<{ )
I wonder sometimes what it would take to reduce/eliminate the collection of old computers (Mac & IBM both) that has accumulated in our basement. I wouldn't pay to store them, so I guess we'd have to move to a smaller place too.
hee! Sounds like maybe you did earn your title. ;<)
I didn't bother mentioning the old Windoze carcasses lying about - can't count that high without taking off my shoes. Most of them will have to go, too. Most of them were donations to the Youth Group or Senior Center - but they were too outdated for them. And I have procrastinated.
I should be way off the chart on the history/literature bit
Yes. If they had asked questions of any depth, it would have distinguished a lot better. As it was, I got credit for having a historical atlas and knowing where it was. I got it over 40 years ago - but I don't suppose history maps change as fast as current ones do.
