I've built, repaired and changed parts in several computers without problems lots of times, so I think that hardware-wise, I know at least a bit. Software-wise, I know even more.
How much do you know about computers?

A bunch. I've built several computers on my own, and am the go-to person at my school for computer issues.
Eh, not really at all no. I wouldn't even know how to start building, what's needed, what goes together with other parts, how much is good, how much i need etc etc. I'm learning basic programning in C and finding that difficult, so I'm hardly on the cutting edge of software either. I can usually figure out most Computer related problems though, and I script quite a bit for Team fortress. So, a lot more than the average person, but as a nerd I fail hard.
Building a computer is about as hard as the Lego you get as a kid, it's all made to just slot together.
I know a few languages, not made anything worthwhile yet though. Better at Flash and Web building than I am at applications.
I know how they work and what parts do exactly what, I would get annoyed if I spent this amount of time on something and I didn't know how it does the things it does.
Always learning though.

That's kind of funny that you mention the kernel, we are just starting to talk about that in one of the CIS classes.Agayek said:
I'd say I am fairly knowledgeable. I'm about halfway through my B.S. in Computer Information Systems and I am starting a Systems Engineering job at the end of this month.
Enough to overclock cards and improve performance of my laptop and that's all I need. I could probably make my own computer but I don't like desktops too much...
Embarrassingly little for an almost-entirely PC gamer. Y'see, it's my brother that does all the computer stuff here. Heck, he even built this damn computer! The most I know about it is the RAM and the graphics card!
Hardware these days is basically plug and play. You slap the system together and then install an OS. Done.
The first computer I had used a 386 computer.
Been messing around with computers long enough to have a handle on Windows OSs as well. I did research, testing, and programing for them. Which taught me quite a bit more then I ever learned on my own.
