Post Computer literacy? (Everybody, please—NOT a technical thread)

Well, here's the link.

How comfortable are you people with computers, anyway? I've been a hardcore geek since 10 (I'm 17 now), so I'm pretty savvy, but I've wound up banging my head against the wall many times when hearing people state blatantly wrong 'facts' about computers...*cocked eyebrow*

Methinks I'm more nerdy than I allow myself to believe.

I scored 11. Do I get a magical brownie or something?

11, and it took me about one minute. But then I write patent applications for high-tech companies (mainly networking/Internet/p2p-related), so I'd better have aced it.

I got 11. But it was just basic knowledge, if the test had gone a little more in-depth, my score wouldn't have been that good.

I got 11. I knew that I'd do well if I pounded on the "Any" key enough.

11. We had a computer in my house before we owned a VCR.

I got an 8, because there were a bunch of questions about cell phone crap (text messaging, etc) that aren't actually "COMPUTER literacy" questions.

Well, that's the idea. AMD's trying to point out that, in general, consumers just don't get a lot of computer terminology and it's hurting the personal computer market.
