The Nerd From Hell comes in at a pathetic...
28.20513% - Total Geek - I just love that preciseness! (I am so embarrassed!) Frankly, I suspect that the test is jaded toward more modern geeks, with more weight given toward more recent technologies.
For instance, no reference to HAM radio operators... or owners of a TRS-80, or questions like "did you build your own remote control model plane or fired a rocket? Or have you ever done programming through a "green screen" terminal?
What about being a paperboy, swing bike owner, or own a glow in the dark
Godzilla doll, or even got the top score on a classic video game like Donkey
Kong, Defender, or pac-man?
Can anyone else think up some vintage Geek values?
