  • I l say somewhere around 5-6. If there is something wrong with my computer, I usually end up fixing it myself with aid of google.
  • 5-6. Not too bad, I guess.
  • Definitely a 6. I know most of the stuff that goes on with a computer and its programs, but I don't know everything about them. I still need to call a computer technician on the phone for help.
  • I think I'd be about a 5 or 6. No programming knowledge, but I definately get around.
  • I'd like to think I was a 5, but I am probably a 3 or 4. I can find any genealogical site, I can research novels and questions very quickly, I can scan photos, I can download and edit. I can do Word docs with graphics. I can email, ebay and e-ask for help from factories for the orphanages I support. but I can't program.
  • 9. I have earned my living by programming for thirty years, so either I know something about it or I am a hell of a good con-man. Incidentally, I don't think Bill Gates is a spectacularly good programmer - he is a spectacularly good businessman who can hire good programmers.
  • I say between a 3 and a four. I'm okay at somethings, and there are other things I'm freaklishly good at.
  • 10. I built this one myself....... Ok, ok, I BOUGHT this one myself!
  • 4 months ago i was number1 now i have got a bit better and i would say im now no4.
  • Back when windows 95 ruled, I was a 5 or 6... now I'm lost and probably a four! I flew through computer classes in high school, I was even skipped ahead. That was only 6 years ago... but since then a lot has happend. Digital cameras were new and not so popular, CD burners were just bieng offered, there were no DVD capable computers here, and DVD burners didn't exist as far as I know. The last year of high school they got their first scanner. BASIC was the programming language and C++ was just starting up. We had to learn DOS. One gig was more than anyone could ever need! I want to buy a computer, but I want to find a way to dodge Vista for fear of bieng eternally lost and it's so new that the potential for found bugs is very great!
  • 4. I know how to get around the internet and do basic things. I know nothing about grpahic prgrams, sofware, hardware, or the technical side of computers
  • I'm probably a 5. I'm always learning something everyday. I try to pass my skills and knowledge along to others. That how I got my computer smarts, from watching and learning from people I know. As far as surfing the Internet (since 1993), I'm definitely a 9. I've learned so many things, found so much information and websites that I've been ask to give lectures to community groups and others. Thats why I love AnswerBag, you can learn and share here.
  • I'm a 7.
  • Probably around 6. I am the family's tech support, and I programmed the web page for my company site. I'm still not above cussing at my computer when it is acting up, though!
  • I'd have to say 3. Fairly OK. I know my way around some programs; but, the ins and outs of computer-dom I'm a little fuzzy on.
  • i'd have to say about 6 or 7, im rock at the computer, sorta... ok, ok maybe a 5
  • I'd like to say 6, and some of my friends would put me as an 8 or 9, but their votes don't count because they are 1s and 2s! I think I'm probably best classified as a 5.
  • 10. Even though for my age it might seem stupid, I know my computer like the palm of my hand. I know what it needs, what it wants. I know how to reformat it, check my internet velocity by ping address, entering safemode, deleting virus entries from the registry etc.. My computer is my life and I know it well. Computers are my specialty for life. Whether its searching, or anything I can do it. And I have written a small code in java as a test. *Note, Bill Gates is not the best expert of computers in the world, he did write ms-dos which then became windows, but I'm sure there are better engineers and computer systematics than him.
  • Maybe a 5, there are still many things that are a mystery to me. Good question.
  • I am between a six and seven. By the way, Bill gates is an awesome marketer and entrepreneur, but there are many people whom I would rate higher than him when it comes to computer knowledge. Some of those were engineers that used to work for my brother's company. We used to pride ourselves in being able to solve problems that stumped the best engineers at Microsoft and IBM.
  • around an 8
  • 6-7. By the time I was 10, I had fixed three computer problems in 20 min. that left adults baffled. As for writing simple programs, that'll be next year in Adv. Computer classes for me.
  • 8 or 9 probably.
  • I'd say I'm about an 8, even though I don't program I have a workable knowledge of HTML (enough to write up a simple page without any editors).
  • A seven.
  • I can honetly say iam between 4 and 5 because iknow what is an OSI model,can assemble and diassemble a pc,install windows,can do software & hardware haderning,dual boot,programing I can do varios task.
  • probably a 3 - i can't even find my pictures that I upload - grrrr
  • I can honetly say iam between 4 and 5 because iknow what is an OSI model,can assemble and diassemble a pc,install windows,can do software & hardware haderning,dual boot,programing I can do varios task.
  • I know my computer, and other computers in and out, i can help people with computer issues with just a vague description and tend to know what works with what just off the top of my head... so I would say atleast a 9. I am learning to program, but i think my technical/building ability sums it up at this point =]
  • Fairly ok; still very new but learning!!!!!!!!!!!
  • 9, network/computer technician and programmer
  • 5 or 6 i know my way around and the interent and pc are my life (dad recently got a laptop, HE has barley ever scene it lol) just starting to learn simple programing maybe getting lunix soon!!
  • concerning I never touched one till I was 45 and that was 5 1/2 yrs ago, I have built my own, attended two different schools, am now the t.a in class the last 2yrs were A+,N+, CompTIA A+ (x2) but feel I learning still ever day, I guess I would rate myself at 7 pretty proficient, no haven't written a program by myself yet but have helped with them. as for old Bill he's retired now, he made alot of promises to people this last time with Vista that just didn't pan out.
  • 7 that is if making an executable file counts...
  • I'm pretty ok, the think is.. as Donald rumsfeld would put it.. I think I'm good becuase I know what I know, I also know what i dont know... but its the not knowing what I dont know... thats where I fall down a bit.. does this make sense?
