Qusetion 46

That question was stupid (and also wrong), there is no such font as Windows San-Serif it's Microsoft Sans Serif, and that WAS the default font before Windows 2000.

Both Windows 2000 and XP use Tahoma as the default now. So without specifying which OS it's talking about the answer is impossible to get right!

Also question 48, 3 days ago WesternDigital released a 10,000 sata drive. but u cant really blame them for that . i mean its only 3days lol

You are a Beta Geek
- You know more about PCs than some PC magazine editors, and MOST PC magazine readers. You eat, drink, and breathe PC hardware, which explains why your nickname is "Fun Tony" at LAN parties, but "Relentlessly Annoying Tony" at PTA meetings.


What's a PTA meeting?

I appear to be a Delta Geek, which is the lowest rating, I am quite proud of this!

I managed to get a Gamma Geek rating 100% guesswork - I haven't a clue - was most of that in English?

How high up is "Gamma" Any good? If so I might just get myself a lottery ticket and see how far my "lucky streak" takes me!

You are a Gamma Geek
- not the lowliest dog feasting on the sinew of gutted testing systems, but certainly not as digitaly dominant as the Alpha Geek. Still, you do know your way around a PC with some level of competency. Good enough for government work, indeed.

only 24/48, I thought I would have scored higher than that, although I DO work for the government, so my brain likely is turning to mush...

Goes like this: (i presume)

Alpha - total geek
Beta - Geek
Gamma - not so geeky
Delta - stupid

16 on pure guesswork, answering a,b,c,or d every time would give you an average of twelve, guess that makes me a good guesser

On a CeMAP course recently the lecturer drummed into me "always go for C if you don't know the answer - if you can rule out C then go for D" He based this on numerous survey on tests with A B C or D answers, and C & D were far & away the most frequent answers set by exam writers. Sound advice!!!

for the record he is a very senior chap in finance & insurance - stuart, erm can't remember his surname!
