1) Have you ever crashed the server?
More than once in a day?
On purpose?

Did the owner want to kill you?
Were you able to unformat it successfully?
Did the owner then treat you like a god?
Do you thrive on being treated like a god?
4) Ever just walk into a room to troubleshoot a computer and "the
problem" mysteriously goes away?
Does this happen all the time?
Do the lights dim when you enter?

More than three?
More than five?
Do you use just one, but it's one you wrote yourself?

Do you admit it?

9) Ever reverse engineer a program?
Did it work after?
Did you do it to get rid of those pesky "Not Registered" shareware
messages?
Did you put your own name in there to make it *look* like you were
registered?
10) Do you make your own cables?
Do they work?
Have you ever wondered why anyone would *buy* a serial cable?
Have you ever strung 5 or more converters/tranceivers together to
make a cable do something it was never intended?
11) Have you ever told a newbie that the "any" key is the big switch
labled "1/0"?
Did you deny it when confronted by your boss?
12) Ever set up a "God" account so you could send system messages to
newbies that say "Message from God:..."
Did the newbie then run to your office and say "Come quick! Look at
this!"?
Do you do this regularly?
Has anyone figured it out yet?
