I read this on oatmeal.com and found it spookily accurate. How do you fit in?

Good chance of being skilled and capable
Perhaps even a programmer or designer
@gmail.com
Most likely knows their way around a computer
When the internet stops working, actually tries rebooting the router before calling a family member.
@hotmail.co.uk
Uses a Dell.
Still has issues with spyware
Still thinks Myspace is Hip
@yahoo.co.uk
Usually types with Caps Lock engaged
Sends you email chain letters saying that Bill Gates will eat your hard drive unless you forward this message to everyone you know.
@aol.com
Before asking for computer help, still thinks it's funny to say "I'm Computer illiterate Lol"
Calls you on the phone to tell you about a new website they've discovered then says "Ok...ay...go to....h....t....t....p....colon....forward slash....another forward slash....w....w....w....dot...."

Oh boy.
I have both gmail and hotmail addresses.
But my main address is ntlworld.com...
I suppose that means I'm serious screwed up doesn't it?
(no surprise there)
I had owndomainname once but ran out of money. Yahoo one is wrong. Please pass this on to at least ten of your FRIENDS.
Arwriter: Welcome! I thought it was pretty accurate.
Vicus: No wonder you got taken over by Alan Sugar.
Zig: Thank goodness somebody is keeping our Post Offices open.
Roses: Nothing wrong about having multiple personality sundrome...
Richard: "Yahoo" always sounds like a Sloane Ranger answering the phone...
I've got a talk21 address which I used to use with the old Sky TV keyboard. That was the future, that was.
I reboot the router before calling the family member with his own domain name. So yes, I also think it's worryingly accurate.
I used to have a bigfoot address, which people thought was my own domain name. My friend Nigel Hotmail provoked similar confusion.
Geoff: Talk21 seems so last Century now!
Z: I suppose it depends "what" you call a family member!
Tim: Bigfoot says too much about you but Nigel's done quite well for himself
I'm a virgin.

...as well as a gmail.
Scarlet: Thank goodness Dave is on holiday!
He's got a few surprises for when he comes home!

Hopeless in every respect except desperation. Maybe not quite as hopeless as close friend who tried the other day to get inside his Mac with a tin-opener.
