Edit: After checking the answers, I only got one question wrong ("hanged" vs "hung"), so that's not too bad.
It's only 40 questions, so it doesn't take long. One tip, though - don't bother signing up for a login unless you actively want to meet new people through their website.

I've also got round to activating the junk email filter in Outlook 2003. It works reasonably well (I have it cranked up to "high"), and I've been using it at work for the last couple of years, but the only snag is that you need to run Outlook in "cached Exchange mode" for it to work with Exchange, i.e. you have to have a copy of all of your messages on your PC. (There's a separate filter you can apply at server level if you run Exchange 2003.) Anyway, I've been a bit reluctant to do this in the past, because it seems to defeat the purpose of having a client/server topology, but I finally got round to it today (it's a handy backup, if nothing else). It took a while to set up a local copy (which I expected), and then the filter scanned all my existing messages (which I didn't expect). It then marked several thousand of them as junk, on the basis that they didn't include my email address on the "To" or "cc" lines; in many cases, this was because they were sent to old addresses. Anyway, I've put all those messages back where they belong, so it's now just scanning my new messages as they arrive.
