OK time to show who knows the most Apple trivia. I need the answers to these questions for a competition so any help will be gratefully received. What kind of flag flew outside the original Macintosh Development Office? Who wrote ShowInit? What date did Apple go public? What is the 'High Sierra' standard named after? Name 3 of the 7 applications that were bundled with the LISA Name the 'ransom note' font What were the first words spoken by Macintosh? Which company turned Steve Wozniak down on the Apple computer? That's all (there are actually 32 questions but I think I know the answers to the rest.) This is your chance to show your knowledge of Apple trivia. Good luck. Tony -- Tony Cunningham, Edinburgh University Computing Service. tjc@castle.ed.ac.uk Inspiration, move me brightly, light the song with sense and colour, hold away despair. More than this I will not ask faced with mysteries dark and vast.
