If I was to ask you what the OSI Reference Model was who here would know the answer? This should be easy for some of you but I have a feeling that a lot of people won't know. So I will make it a poll

Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) is a standard reference model for communication between two end users in a network. It is used in developing products and understanding networks. This figure shows where commonly-used Internet products and services fit within the model. Also see the notes below the figure.

And no, I did not know what it was. But thanks for making me look it up so now I know. 
Got it from here, if anyone wants to know more:

Although I knew what it is, I don't really think it has anything to do with how computer savy you are... it is more of a networking thing than a computer thing. the only people that really have to know about it are network administrators (not even them most of the time) and people that program modems and such.

I've had a computer since 1983, but down understand all the technical terms and concepts. My study was in nursing and not computers.

Yeah, I think that's less 'computer saavy' and more' jargon literate'. There's definitely a difference.

No, I don't. I have a Mac so that I need not know such things.
This way, I can goof off here, and push pixels instead of having to config my OSI reference model all day.

not really...
the osi model is just a basic architecture for network transmission

Yes I do, and "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away"
I also agree with the others who said that you can be VERY computer savy and still not know that that is.

People don't need to see Paula Abdul
I agree now that I think about it, but if you are very into networking you should

I realize pointing out typos is not in good taste on forums, but is there a specific reason why the word "savvy" seems to be spelled in every way but the right in this thread?

mmm, OSI.
Been there, memorized that.
It's not something anyone but a network admin and maybe some programmers need to know.
