HP-UX.

I have no idea what that means. If I didn’t have to work on a Windows machine, I would use OS X 100% of the time.

Apple DOS 3.1??? Apparently they don’t know a Solaris person when they see one.

Windows ME for my PC. However, I do almost all my work on one of my college’s Solaris workstations.

Great. OS/2 Warp. Now I _really_ feel underrated.

Some quiz. I’ll bet they didn’t even have any of the BSDs as possible outcomes, unless it’s reasonable to include OS X in that family.

(Actually I just like to hear myself bitch. Some of these things are pretty entertaining, and none are any less valid than, e.g., the daily horoscope in the Palm Beach Pest.)

I’m so lonely. Can I get another 2000 SP3? ☹

Five different answers to the last question of the quiz result in me being five different OSes with totally different descriptions.

My verdict: _highly unscientific._
