WTF, a 53 is rated as a " Computer Professional "

Perhaps but maybe not since the average computer user would probably get less than 10% right.

I only got 4 out of 9 on Windows, even though I am pretty knowledgable with regard to the operating system, whereas I'm lousy with web design but only missed one question. Go figure. I wouldn't have chosen some of the questions, whereas they didn't ask many of the questions I would have asked. I mean, there were no questions about SATA, RAID, OS recovery and general troubleshooting, and many others that I think are much more important than who the hell invented the internet.

Of course, one needs to define e-mail. Airlines have been sending teletype text traffic over the wire for 60 years or more, for example, and timesharing systems have included electronic messaging ... sometimes between hosts ... since the 1960's. At least.

I would not consider myself "professional" but I am definitely computer savy. I am the go to guy for my whole family and I am the only one who has ever done any programming. I am most certainly better than average.
