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

I can build my own and have a degree in comp info so I would say about a 3/4 especially if some of the other guys here are only 5/6 and have 3000+ posts on everything. I can also generally follow tech directions for testing and repairing on stuff I don't know.
 
I'd say I'm around a 5. I've built my own system and I can follow directions to get what I need done. I know jack about networking and programming.
 
Id say around 7-9, im knowledgeable in linux and windows, know how the hardware works, etc. I know minimal about networking, as in, a very small amount.Im pretty good with knowing what is wrong with software and etc, just i suck at coding of any kind, well, i know standard html, etc. Ive grown up around computers, so its been a part of my life from pretty early on.
 
4-6 I would have to say. Pretty much all of that is from this forum and me experimenting around a little. But on the 1=Word user 5= Bill Gates and 10= Computer Einstein scale I would say around 2-2.75 max.
 
I'd say a solid 5. I've upgraded several computers in the past, but never built one from the ground up. Also, I've managed to fix several software issues that were on my computer awhile back. I know some stuff, but not alot.

Delusions of grandeur at all? 10? So you know everything there is to know?

Can you write me a shell script that will partition a hard drive in 3 partitions, with one of them being in windows format so I can load boot camp?

thanks,

By shell do you want terminal script or a script. also can you tell me how many gb your hdd is and if you want it splitted equally and also do you want after the partitoning to start up boot camp assistant so you can install windows? + What type of mac computer are you on. You will need to have the same boot rom mother board as me. (a 2.5GHz 4,01 MacBook Pro)

I was obviously mocking your arrogance at giving yourself a 10 for Mac. I mean there is so much out there. Do you even know how to setup open directory or an LDAP? OS X server uses all of that stuff.

shell script is a terminal script since the terminal is the shell. It shouldn't matter what type of mac I am on unless you are looking to support legacy machines that use the APM partitioning, but since I am all intel I would need GUID.

You don't need the same boot rom either. The fact is..........., well..............., you set me up too easy on this one and I am just going to let it slide, but you are definitely not a 10. No one is, and anyone who claims to be is ignorant.

This thread should have been deleted a long time ago anyway.
 
6 for hardware, 4 for networking, 2 for software/programming

(Most of what I have learned is from here, so thanks.)
