8/20. There were a couple I probably should have remembered, but once I saw what it was I did better than I thought I would.

this is trivia not really tech questions.
I stopped when it started talking about TV shows.

10/20, but should have been 11.

"What was the first computer with graphical user interface?"

I'm pretty sure all the answers there are wrong. The answer should be the Xerox Alto. :colbert:

12. Having read The Innovators helped me answer a couple of them and I took a class in college forever ago that discussed the history of computers, so that helped a bit too.

10/20. Dumb "quiz," trivia would be more apt. I was expecting more technical, useful, applicable questions...

9 out of 20, mostly guesses. Dang, that was actually hard!

You Scored: 19 out of 20. Of course I am an old dude. I took a course in Fortran many many years ago...

11/20. Most of that was just guessing. I don't know very much about computer history beyond what's common knowledge.

10/20. Yeah...not technical, just historical facts. I'm surprised they didn't ask who invented the Internet. (It was Al Gore, if you didn't already know)

The question about the C64 made me miss those days of playing games. My dad was one of the few Commodore certified repair shops in the state in the 80s...so I had C64s and Amiga 500s in the house growing up.
