Just a note, but are these questions jokes?
Know how to use a text editor (not a word processor, but a text editor)?
Know how to use a browser to download a file?
Know how to run a program installer?
If not, then I'd consider removing them. This isn't 1984.
I think the questions are fine. It indicates the level of technical
knowledge required -- not much, but more than just the ability to sign
in to AOL.
In 1984 the newbies didn't know anything about computers *and knew they
didn't know*, but now you have people who think that because they can
write a letter in Microsoft Office and save as HTML, they're expert at
programming.
I wish I were joking but I've had to work for some of them.
