PC Pop Quiz

Last week the Charlotte Observer ran a short 10 question quiz about PC knowledge geared toward average PC users (not experts). My favorite response was in question #2

2. Lately you hear a clatter from your computer, especially when you load a program or call up information. What's going on?

A. It's infested with reindeer.
B. Your hard disk may be headed for failure.
C. A loose wire is hitting the cooling fan.
D. A loud metallic clatter is perfectly normal.

Here's a hint - it's not A (although I've this time year I might be tempted to believe it )

Anyway, why try the quiz out yourself? You might be surprised at how much you really already know.

HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER?
