JohnnyFartPants Posted 15 October, 2008 Share Posted 15 October, 2008 Same here. No points at all until question 6. 2/10. I feel quite pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 15 October, 2008 Share Posted 15 October, 2008 (edited) Same here; 8/10. I got the eMac [easy mistake. Don't know Apples well] and the IBM Portable PC5155 wrong. Could have sworn that machine was a Compaq. Just checked the pictures. No wonder..! Here's the Compaq in close up: And here's the IBM: Add in a bit of brain-fade, and you get a mistake.

I don't want to be a geek...... Never be ashamed of doing well in anything positive. People who get pleasure from failure from non-mainstream knowledge are just herd losers. Never fall into the trap of the sheep-like attitude to enjoy being bad at non-fashionable things. Bollix to that mentality. Be individual. You can at least celebrate your excellent memory, or the fact that you're extremely observant, if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
