How well do you know the internet.....
by waynemorgan » Sat May 30, 2009 3:33 am
Just reading http://www.news.com.au and found a quiz relating to the internet being around 40 years. Thought I'd take a shot at it.....WAY too much time on my hands....and apparently for most of my life

I don't like the term insane - I prefer mentally hilarious!

direct page for it is here. Shame they don't give an actual rating as a number, but i think i *may* have beaten you. Also would like to know which ones i got wrong without having to look them up.
Here's mine.

I used to run a BBS many years ago - 300bps modem on a computer with a 20mb hard drive. Online games and all
My first experience with the internet was via my upgraded modem - 1200/75 baud. Now that was some serious speed!
