Calling all old timers...

[ChandraRam]

9/10 :) Who are you calling an old timer? :mad: ;) ;P

4 correct guesses out of 10. Seriously though, how much time does a person spend looking at their hardware unless there's something wrong with it? I can barely tell you what my monitor looks like because unless there's smoke coming out, I'm only looking at the brightly lit part with the text and pictures.

By the Great Prophet Zarquon, you're right. Only the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy can solve it. The answer's 42 dagnabit.

Ay yes, the only holy book worth the name. All others are works of fiction written by shepherds on hills thousands of year ago, THHGTTG is the Ultimate Truth! (Written on a Lisa I believe!)

I didn't recognize any of them, but I got 4 by random selection.

I got both of those wrong as well. And also the 2 vintage gamer systems.

8/10 at age 29, thats harsh :(

[Scott Barbour]

6/10 here as well. I'm also 29, but many of them were unfamiliar due to them not being marketed in the United States (such as Amstrads, Acorns, and Sinclairs). The first one (which looked straight out of the original Star Trek series), I only knew from knowing the history of computer games.

I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...

I usually have an answer though.

[Scott Barbour]

Yes, it is:

Dec | Oct
0 | 0
1 | 1
2 | 2
3 | 3
4 | 4
5 | 5
6 | 6
7 | 7
8 | 10
9 | 11
10 | 12

Well, I scored a 5 so 9 should be OK for you. ;P

Oh OK. I did not know we are supposed to compute on an inverse proportion. ;P :-D
