THE COMPUTER MUSEUM SEEKS QUESTIONS FOR THE THIRD COMPUTER BOWL Which of the following was _not_ the name of a 1950s computer: Leprechaun, Mobidic, Babbage, or MANIAC? Which was the first major film to use computer-aided animation: Soylent Green, Futureworld, or Star Wars? Questions like these are the stuff of which Computer Bowls are made. The Computer Museum is looking for a few good questions to stump the nation's high-tech heroes in Computer Bowl III. Computer history, technology, business, folklore, trivia -- anything goes -- in this now classic industry event, to be held April 26, 1991, at the San Jose (Calif.) Convention Center. Please send your entries (questions and answers) by January 31, 1991 to: Computer Bowl Questions c/o Kate Jose The Computer Museum 300 Congress Street Boston MA 02210 The names of people whose questions are selected will be listed in the 1991 Computer Bowl Program, and they will receive Computer Bowl T-shirts. You may also email your questions to me and I will forward them to the Museum (with proper attribution, of course).
