Me, too. I do know how to feel about it : enraged! I've taken a test before that determined your gender based on a bunch of seemingly irrelevant and often nonsense questions. For example, you would have to pick a radio button from something like the following: ( ) Brown ( ) Black At the end of the test it told you its determination as to your gender, and you told it if it was right or wrong. It used that information to learn and refine future predictions. That kind of test means something. This kind, where an arbitrary human determination is made as to what kinds of answers "Palm OS" users would make, is not. Of course, I wouldn't be complaining if it said I was a ProDOS guy. -Dan
