What OS are you, mac pc?

[acidrock]

Find out what operating system matches your personality most, a friend of mine said that as a PC user, it matched him with Mac OS. F! it said I"m GNU/Hurd, I don't even know what os that is!

What operating system are you? (http://bbspot.com/News/2003/01/os_quiz.php)

[Dippo]

Here's what mine said:

You are Amiga OS. Ahead of your time. You keep a lot of balls in the air. If only your parents had given you more opportunities to suceed.

I don't even know what Amiga OS is.... :confused:

[acidrock]

i think it's just randomly making up os systems j/k

[thatwendigo]

Congratulations!

You are FreeBSD.

You're a speed demon and a great networker. You have a tendency to give it away for free. Well-respected but virtually unknown.

[Awimoway]

You are Palm OS

Punctual, straightforward, and very useful. Your mother wants you to do more with your life like your cousin Wince, but you're happy with who you are.

[Dippo]

You are Debian Linux.
People have difficulty getting to know you. Once you finally open your shell they're apt to love you.

You are Apple Dos.
Simple and primitive with a good understanding of the common man. You're still a work in progress, but a good start.

You are OS X.
You tend to be fashionable and clever despite being a bit transparent. Now that you've reached some stability you're expecting greater popularity.

You are Windows 98.
You're a bit flaky, but well-liked. You don't have a great memory, but everyone seems to know you. A great person to hang out with and play some games.

You are Palm OS.
Punctual, straightforward and very useful. Your mother wants you to do more with your life like your cousin Wince, but you're happy with who you are.

You are Slackware Linux.
You are the brightest among your peers, but are often mistaken as insane. Your elegant solutions to problems often take a little longer, but require much less effort to complete.

[DreaminDirector]

Ha! This is what I got...

You are Slackware Linux.
You are the brightest among your peers, but are often mistaken as insane. Your elegant solutions to problems often take a little longer, but require much less effort to complete.

I think it was because I chose to be Charles Manson as my villain choice. Has anyone ever seen the video of that guy in his parole hearings? Damn, it's one wacked out dude.

Anyway, interesting little personality quiz...

I wonder what being more than one os says about your presonality lol j/k!!

[Daveman Deluxe]

Hm, i've never heard of me...

[Dippo]

Yes, I admit it, I have multiple personality disorder :p
I let each of my personalities fill out the survey, so I could post them.




Actually, I was trying to see how many different OSes they would use, and apparently it is a lot, and changing the answer to one question WILL change the outcome.

[crenz]

I'm a bit astonished that these OSes are so unknown -- so far, these are still "common" ones...

I don't even know what Amiga OS is.... :confused:

No fair!!!! I want to be Amiga OS! :) *pouting* I got HP-UX -- "You're still strong despite the passage of time. Though few understand you, those who do love you deeply and appreciate you."

Oh, and shame on you for not knowing what Amiga OS is! :eek: Out of curiousity, did you say Assembly was your favorite language? The crowning principle of good Amiga software was to dump the OS in as few commands as possible at the beginning of the program. :)

BTW, I like the "If I end up being WinME, somebody's going to get hurt." :D

[Neserk]

YOu are a Gnu/H (something) if you answer more questions you may get a better answer...

apparently I missed a question...

so then I became RedHat Linux

[KC9AIC]

I got to be xp. I already don't like this quiz.

[MatMistake]

"You are Apple Dos. Simple and primitive with a good understanding of the common man. You're still a work in progress, but a good start."

well, atleast its better than windows

amiga os would have been cool though. I loved my amiga, its what got me started with making art on a computer.

[njmac]

Windows XP. I'm going to take the quiz over :o

[musicpyrite]

aaahhhh!! I got Windos$ 95....this thing must be rigged by M$...



:o

[1macker1]

Apple Dos 3.1 :( WTH

[King Cobra]

I got Windows 98 last time...

This time, I got Amiga OS.
http://bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/01/os_quiz/amiga.jpg

[question fear]

i was red hat. but i'd much rather be...

[takao]

BTW, I like the "If I end up being WinME, somebody's going to get hurt." :D

haha yeah that answer is a true classic ;)

last time i took that test i was red hat

but now i am already slackware :rolleyes:

Amiga more mac than mac. It rocked. It was pretty elelgant and powerful. It was also color back in the day when there was no color.

I'm slackware Linux. Brightest among peers often considered insane.

[taeclee99]

Took the test twice for good measure. Got this both times:
Someone put me out of my misery!!!

[themadchemist]

Palm OS.

[iBook]

What is this?

[MoparShaha]

Well, looks like I'm in the right forums :).

[rainman::|:|]

it's amazing how many people have never heard of Debian. I mean, knowing what it is is another thing, but it's a pretty common word to hear in tech circles...

Anyway, i was OS2/Warp. Which, i *think* i was last time i took this. Fine with me, it's one of the few OS's that i think was worth being coded, despite being ignored by everyone on earth...

paul

[MatMistake]

Anyway, i was OS2/Warp.

what? hello? did someone say something?
I'm sure there was someone there a second ago...

:p

[TEG]

I am OSX.

By the way, anyone notice that this site is posted about every 7 weeks. They haven't even updated it in 2 years. I've been OSX each time I take It, so I refuse to take it again.

Please just put a link to this page on Mac Bytes and quit having 400 threads on it.

TEG

[7on]

Yeah, I got OSX the last time I took it.

[wdlove]

I don't really know what this OS is about. A lot of the questions didn't fit my lifestyle.

true, the test hasnt been updated but bbspot.com is a larger comedic site, brian briggs doesnt generally update the quizzes because he's too busy doing the rest of the site.
check out the articles though, theres some funny stuff there, especially about macs...also check out microsoft purchases evil from the devil.
priceless.

Are you a DeluxePaint fan? :) I loved DP when I was a kid...I made animations and all kinds of cool stuff. Of course there were a much more manageable number of pixels on the screen back then, to use a bitmap paint program....

Did you make MOD music too? I remember we had some program that was called....MED if I recall correctly, that could make some pretty good music without too much hassle. Four channels, two a side, had to double up if you wanted stereo! :)

yep, I used deluxe paint :D
I'd happily sit in front of the amiga for hours clicking away with the worlds most uncomfortable mouse drawing pictures and making animations. then I'd print them out on my dot-matrix printer which was so loud you had to go upstairs if you didn't want to go deaf.
I cleared out my room a few weeks ago and found a whole load of printed out pictures, the print quality is awful, but the pictures are great.
next year I'll be at university doing illustration, and I use computers at some point in just about every drawing I do. that amiga has alot to answer for :D

nope, never got a chance to try that.
my first go at making music with a computer will be later this year when I get a mac with garage band

[NusuniAdmin]

It says im os/2.....grrrrr

CONGRATULATIONS!

ahhh....good old memories. I had a couple of friends who would come over and we'd do collaborative art and music in our A500.... Not that I don't like photo quality bubble jets and vector drawing programs, but there was such an innocence to computing back then.

It is really cool that you stuck with art & graphic design though....

One more funny memory of those times...remember the Swiss Cracking Association virus. At least on the Amiga, when virii ruined the boot disks of your copy protected software, you were given witticisms and cool graphics shows in exchange. :(

I used to have OS2/Warp, it was a very solid OS.

[kgarner]

I was Red Hat.

[krimson]

Yay!

[mkrishnan]

I used to have OS2/Warp, it was a very solid OS.

The only problem I ever had with OS2, besides the bad marketing of the Warp idea, was that we always had to use it on 386SX computers for some reason, and there was some business, IIRC, with that processor being front side 16 bit and back side 32 bit, so since OS/2 was a 32 bit OS, it had to use two clock cycles to load every command, and so it was running at maddeningly slow speeds.

My freshmen engineering computing class was like the last year Fortran was the language used (the CS/EE people had been on C/C++ for a long time already), and I'll never forget being in that lab at 2 in the morning, everyone waiting 10 minutes for a program to compile in MS Fortran on OS/2, and screaming in pain wheen the computer crashed mid-compile (half the time). :D

[FightTheFuture]

i have no idea how this happened. but i'd rather be XP then Me.http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/01/os_quiz/xp.jpg
