I got a better one: I got into the command prompt a while back (which you aren't supposed to do) and everyone is like "Whoa! You a big l337 hax0r". Morons.

You only have ten years of school in Australia? That explains quite a bit.
Surprisingly, thats the only comment I have.

That's not a very nice thing to say. There are 10 years of compulsory schooling in Australia, and 2 years non-compulsory, but the way things are going, if you don't do all 12, you will have a hard time finding a decent job. btw, I did all 12, and am now at uni. I also work as a database programmer, using skills that i started to acquire in grade 11 and 12, and continued to improve on. Australia has a very good education system.

Pretty much the same here in the US, except it's called "Dropping Out" rather than not continuing with optional education ;)

There are 12 years of education. i know because i just finished the last one and moved into uni campus today. X11 year 10 computer classes are a joke.

- bullshit.
dont flatter yourself! i did specialist maths last year and i still am working my ass off to prepare for my courses coming up. most of the ppl on these forums prob no twenty times more than you and me combined dude but dont take it too harshly - if you think you have what it takes work hard and get to uni, dont waste your intelligence. (ie DONT drop out at year 10 (unless your idea of computers is those little cash registers at maccas))
i also got called "good with computers" pretty muchj only because i could dl stuff of sites for the jocks. its like any compliment:means nothing unless its from someone who knows what their talking about.

damn right. 8-) wtf is with the msn icon though?
in summation mr X11 keep working at it. year 12 might be a little difficult getting through if ur used to how easy the rest of your education was but its worth it. talk the talk less and walk the walk more. actual ability will be respected far more than loudmouthing.
ps. if aone checks what os im using, its only temporary... mr slackware install wont install... lilo claims the mbr is too small ?!? and it wont let me make a linux boot disk either so i have to use windows till i can get my help at the local linux users group.
