Check this out:

I got 116. Really this test is not only based on how good you are with computers but on how much money you have, since if you have a PDA for example, your score goes up. So it's not really very valid. But it's fun to take anyway.

I put yes for "have you ever written a virus" and I'm suprised I did not get higher. I never released the virus into the wild or anything, but I did write a few. Some were for defence tools, while some others I never actually used for anything. :D

YEWah, I was rather dissappointed in that, though it is an msnbc quiz, so what do you expect. Alot of that stuff, as you said, was kinda if I could I would but I ain't got the money. others like "do you have the google toolbar installed" or "do you have a personalized yahoomsnother overblown webportal page?" Well no I don't, but it's not a matter of not knowing how, it's a matter of not wanting
eedingusing them. The only extra bar I need on my browser is the one that has tabs on it, and I tend to avoid those over-marketed portal sites, especially msn - like the plague.
