    I feel strangely violated - got home late and had dinner, then sat down to swag. Got a daily survey about computers from our friends at Toluna that went on and on and on and on. Half way through I had to tell them how many times I had recommended things to various people and no matter what I put it in kept telling me that each line couldn't add up to more than one. I kept shouting at the screen that they didn't add up to more than one - 1 + 0 = 1. After trying about every combination under the sun I found out that it would only work if you put a zero in every box - idiots! Every time I thought it had finished, it came up with 'and now onto a slightly different subject'. I think I've told them almost everything I do on computer, tablet, laptop, phone from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed (surprised there wasn't a question on how many times I used the internet whilst asleep). After an hour I was on the point of giving up, but it suddenly ended and thank goodness it credited. A survey like that is just totally ridiculous for 70sb
    AAAARRRGGGHHHH THAT'S THE ONE !..
    I did it for 45 lousy bucks.
    "and now we'd like to ask you about............." SHURRUP !:mad::mad::mad:

    .....and breathe.

    I hope there was a feedback box at the end and you gave 'em what for.

    No there was no feedback box or I would have asked them when were the fundamentals of mathematics changed to enable 1 + 0 to be greater than 1. Perhaps they are using quantum physics, or maybe it's just me going swagsane

    I'm glad that I'm not the only one - and I'm fairly certain there were a couple of trick questions in it just to make sure that you were sitting up smartly and paying attention to the inane questioning
