Well, since everyone insists on calling me an otaku (*grumble*), let's
see how *I* rate:

#  1) What do you use for visual stuff?
#     -2 points)  8mm
#  2) What do you use for audio stuff?
#     -2 points)  cassette
#  3) What kind of anime do you watch?
#      0 points)  rent videos and watch TV anime
#  4) What game machine do you have?
#    -10 points) <See footnote>
#  5) How do you listen to radio shows?
#      0 points)  record it on 8mm with economical tapes

Footnotes:
   1) They don't have a rating for obsolete 8mm equipment... 
   2) Except that my tape recorder is broken...
   3) Mostly TV shows these days.  Still don't have an LD player...
   4) It's a Macintosh!  Doesn't even appear on the list!
   5) Well, I can't stay up for them, can I? 


#  I scored 0 points.  So I'm not close to being an otaku.

So I sort of scored -14.  Does this mean I have a life?  :-)
