As an inveterate, life-long dummy, this kind of story just impresses me to no end!

I do not believe you are a dummy. Prodigies are rare and often fade after a few years.

Here is a sample question from that test:

A volume spans multiple disks on a Windows Server 2003 computer named Server1. A hardware failure has occurred and you need to allow access to the volume while Server1 is being repaired. In this situation, it is most appropriate to:

a. move all the dynamic disks containing parts of the volume to another Windows Server 2003 computer and import the disks in the disk group on the target computer.

b. use the Disk Management utility to recover the volume on Server1.

c. import some of the dynamic disks of the volume into another disk group on Server1.

d. move some of the disks containing parts of the volume to another computer and delete the volume on Server1.

Fox News reports a five year old knows the answer to this question and many more. The boy "plays with his father's old computers as a 3-year-old so he could learn about mother boards and hard drives." Fox reported it so it must be true.

That question is intuitively answerable by the casual observer.

Let see the five year old try to program a mainframe using punch cards, show him the punch card writer and see if he can use it.

Saw a special last Summer where they gave the young kids who were up on Smart Phones a dial phone to use. Did not know what to do with it. Looked on the bottom for a screen. They also did not had any idea what a VCR and a cassette recorder was.

So, we know things they don't and we know all of them.

That quote was a favorite line used by all my professors in me Electrical Engineering classes at Drexel.
