Question 3 doesnt have option 4) Forward attachment to all your relatives, delete it then charge them £50 an hour to fix their pcs...

9 out of 10, and that was only because I chose the wrong one from Apple, IBM or TSR80.

Yeah some of the questions were a bit dumb. Mainly this one.

Question 3
An e-mail turns up bearing an attachment labelled as video of a nude celebrity. What do you do?

A: Delete it - there's probably a virus in the attachment

B: Open it and forward it to all your friends so they can enjoy the fun

C: Sounds good, open it and sit back to watch

Obviously we'd open it and sit back and enjoy the fun! ehehehe

BBC are well tuned in with technology, don't mock! They even managed to run their piece on bedroom developers without mentioning Introversion. Thats diligent research right there! :rolleyes:

I got Q2 Wrong, I think thats because its the only question where you actually would have needed some knowledge on viruses, infections etc
