You would think today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss would be easy -if you're an Apple fan. Test your Apple knowledge with ten questions about the history of the company and its products. It's not easy -I've used nothing but Apple computers for twenty-five years and I only scored 40%! I bet everyone who beats that score will leave a comment about it. Link

The only one I actually knew was what replaced the iPod mini, and only because the iPod nano was just released when I was able to buy one.
Missed the Mona Simpson one and the iPod Nano predecessor... Not much of a lock-in music player fan.
Heh, Besides finding (technical) computer history interesting (mouse is older then you think, seen pics of the original, it was ugly), I saw the Lisa new in the stores prior to the Macintosh, and at work we've been using Macs for over 20 years si I know the more orchestral startup sound started somewhere around the beginning of the PPC era.
I've been using Macs since they first came out.
@12 Pi It was the first with the recording. The earlier ones did a chord that functioned as a diagnostic tool. With some training you could narrow the problem down by hearing what was off in the startup chord.
