I think that test is totally biased to favor young geeks!!!
What about us elder-geeks???
Under "I Have," for example, why is there no selection such as:
[] I have computed my oxen mileage using an abacus?
Under "I have been," why no answer like:
[] The person who tracked Russian bombers using SAGE, BMEWS or DEW Line vacuum tube computers and RADAR systems.
[] The person who decrypted radio commercials using a BOSCO secret-decoder ring. (This was before the days of Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB-gun.)
Under "I have(2)," where is...
[] I have worn a Flash Gordon or Captain Midnight or Superman costume to a Rotarian, Kiwanis or Lions Club business meeting or a Shriner's Convention. :wink:
Under "I have read," where are...
[] "War of the Worlds," by H.G. Wells.
[] "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea," by Jules Verne.
Under "I routinely watch(ed):
[] "Mr. Wizard" with host, Don Herbert.
Under "I have seen (2+times), where are the following answers?:
[] Movies which included Robbie the Robot as a main character.
[] "Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe." (aka: Rocketman -- no relationship to the Elton John song of that name)
Under "I own"...
[] Two or more "Pickett," "Dietzgen," or "K+E" mechanical slide rules.
[] A complete set of mechanical drawing tools.
And so on, and so on.
Darn kids...they think everything Geeky dates from the birth of the personal computer.
Crankily yours,
