    I initially wanted to make this as a form, and hack up some Javascript that would calculate your score and then display results, but I also got lazy.

    1:c,d,e
    I use tenfourfox and handbuild links and lynx. I also like to surf around with gopher protocol by netcat and less.
    2:c,d
    Pine is awersome, but I sometimes have to use the webmail interface of gmail. (On school for example)
    3:d,e
    I kinda like OS X, but it is sometimes too restrictive. If I had to choose my favorite OS it would be either some unix clone or AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS.
    4:d,e
    The absolute best is vi and its clones. It is default on my linux boxes(Server/tinkering machine(100MHz Pentium, 40MB ram, 1GB HD) and desktop), my MacMINIX box(Mac Classic) and MacVim is default on my OS X laptop. I also really like ed becouse it can be used over very slow network links. (I have to control a server on my school over network and for some reason it takes around two seconds to send a single char. ouch)
    5:c,d,e
    I love kde 3.5 becouse how customizable it is(I hate kde 4), but I dislike how slow it is. I usually run openmotif mwm or wwm. On my server/tinkering machine I either live without X or run tinyX.
    6:c,d,e
    C, scheme, python, 16 bit asm(I have written multitasking OS using only 16 bit asm)
    7:d,e
    8:c,e
    I can’t stand csh and I have never used scsh, but it looks interesting.
    9:c,d
    If I have to give document on ms word format I use libreoffice, but otherwise it is Vi and Latex
    10:I am only 14 years old

    If I calculate average of every question result is 42, but if I add all answers together result is 110
