On a level of 1-10, what is your skill level with computers?

ADE · 10-10-2006, 01:34 AM

OK, I always see new members come and go, but this thread is just to help us and others. For example, say a new member joins, they come here, rate their skill level and then we know if we as "veterans" should speak with a simple yet descriptive manor, or if there well learned and know : abbreviations, technical words, complex instructions, terms, assumed knowledge of understanding specification, knowledge of quality or crappy stuff, low need to further elaborate on subjects, have good knowledge of how things like a GPU or CPU work in depth, etc.

1 = need a full explanation
10 = just give me an answer and I know what to do with it

Not only just the new members, but just be honest and say what you think you are (10 also = know how a GPU works and how it decodes, creates an image, how it determines a pixel's place within the monitors picture that is displayed, how it is given data and how it processes it etc (not just GPUs though)- basically, it says you know just about how everything in a computer and how everything in it works to the material it is used and why that material is used for it- its kinda like saying if you wanted to you could build you own CPU if you were given the materials needed to make it.

I think I about a 6.

I would say a 3-4

jp198780 · 10-10-2006, 01:39 AM

hmm, 6-8?

[-0MEGA-] · 10-10-2006, 01:41 AM

I'd say 8-9. I can solve pretty much any hardware or software issue when it comes to desktop and laptops. I'm not as eduacted right now in networking and servers, however I am taking courses right now which will educate me more in those areas.

And just to let everyone know, I don't just mean PC, I mean MAC, Linux, etc. (only goes for if your a 10)

I should also note that I am fairly knowledgable in the Mac OS and a few Linux distros. I'm more toward the 8 if you want to only have a single number.

bigsaucybob · 10-10-2006, 01:45 AM

I would say 6, because I am more of a hardware expert than a software guy.

The_Beast · 10-10-2006, 01:48 AM

3-4 i know all the parts needed. what to do but not in networking, OS, all the cables needed the little stuff that i can ask all you guys.

Redbull{wings} · 10-10-2006, 01:49 AM

I'd say I'm 5 to 6..But I'm mainly hardware, nothing software.
