Are you a nerd?

Slightly dorky Nerd God

It's interesting to see that these tests have gotten updated. Older nerd tests were skewed because they asked about some really old technologies, like paper tape. I've seen a paper tape machine, but I've never seen one working. It doesn't make me less dorky because I some of the tech is before my time.

I could be even nerdier if I had more free time, but having a three year old takes most of that up. Although some would argue that having reproduced lowers my nerd cred.

And yes, I do have a nerdier-than-thou attitude.

Hmmm.... Paper tape. When I was a 'puter tech in London ('76) that was state-of-the-art, baby.

Learned on punch cards and fixed XEROX 2.5 Meg 14" hard drives among the more arcane stuff I used to fix!
