    Didn't know:

    -The year the first email was sent
    -Pine is an email client
    -Bill Gates never said the thing about 640KB being enough for anyone
    -The IRQ for COM1 is 2

    Can't remember the other 2 I got wrong.

    Can't believe I got 6 of 7 in Web Design :eek: I haven't even looked at HTML in about 3 years. Almost all my Linux answers were guesses too. Networking is very poor but I expected that.

    Some errors in the quiz...
    Correct! A standard PC floppy once formatted is capable of holding 1.44 MB.

    1.44Mb was for Double Sided Double Density, not a standard one... :D


    Answer: #
    Incorrect. Anytime you wish to create any type of remark in a batch file rem must be added in front of the line. Remarks are often used to skip a line in the batch file or make comments.

    Not true with linux


    Drivers are stored in the registry?? WTF?
    Correct! Drivers and many of the other settings in Microsoft Windows 95 and higher are stored in the Windows registry.

    There's no such thing as a 'standard' floppy disk, so standard just means the most common one

    Linux doesn't have batch files, it has shell scripts
