What? I am NOT Apple DOS 3.1!

Filed under: Blog,Funny — David @ 12:01

I don’t usually bother, but I was kind of curious when a friend had it on her “blog”:http://www.livejournal.com/users/librarygal/126835.html and was Palm OS (my fav PDA OS), so I tried it out:

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.
Which OS are You?

What the heck! At least I didn’t get Windows ME (the last question on the quiz was “Will the answers to these questions really help you determine my personality?” and I answered “If I end up Windows ME someone is going to be hurting.” So that’s good. But still…you’d think I’d be Linux or something cool like that…okay I think I’d be Linux, maybe you don’t…

I went back and changed my answer to that last question to “It doesn’t really matter now does it?” and look at the results:

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.
Which OS are You?

I might have to stick with Apple DOS :-)

Okay, this is a bit suspicious. I changed my answer again to the last question, and answered “Hey we’re the ones asking the questions, you just answer them and shut up!“, and this is what came back:

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

YAY! Linux! Debian Linux at that! Good distro. Only took me three tries…at this point I’m wondering if the test is contingent primarily on the last question. Every time I change it I get a different answer. Like answering “No, it’s entirely random.” gives me this:

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.
Which OS are You?

And, of course, the last option I hadn’t already tried (“I believe everything on BBspot.”) gives me:

You are Windows XP. Under your bright and cheerful exterior is a strong and stable personality. You have a tendency to do more than what is asked or even desired.
Which OS are You?

I guess I can’t be Windows XP, since by this time I’m definitely not believing everything on “BBspot”:http://www.bbspot.com! Especially since they run a Windows-based webserver with ASP…gives me plenty of reasons not to trust them right there! Oh yeah, but of course “librarygal”:http://www.livejournal.com/users/librarygal/126835.html was PalmOS, which I haven’t seen yet, so that kind of blows my whole “contingent on one question” theory. But I definitely don’t have time to do a more in-depth study. Heck, I don’t really have time to write this post as-is!

Okay…I had to go back and check what file extension I was. Crappy one here first time through, too:

You are .swf You are flashy, but lack substance. You like playing, but often you are annoying. Grow up.
Which File Extension are You?

But if I change my favorite function key from F11 to F4 (you don’t want to know (or I don’t want you to know) what F11 got me. Okay it was .gif), I get my personal favorite file extension (okay it’s tied with .pl actually):

You are .cgi Your life seems a bit too scripted, and sometimes you are exploited. Still a workhorse though.
Which File Extension are You?

Yay! Okay I’m really done now.

  1. I think someone had too much time on their hands…What is a .swf file anyway?

  2. An .swf file is a Macromedia Flash file. Something certain people (no names…) could have found out at Google, but it was more fun to have a short conversation here on my blog-with-few-comments!
