General "rules"
0. This is a fun quiz....
1. This thread is similar to all the other Cumulative quizzes, except all questions need to be related to computers.
2. The first person to answer the current question correctly, when confimed by the question's author may post the next question.
3. If you're the current questioner, try and visit daily to check replies; you can give hints if necessary.
4. The basic idea is that you ask and reply based on what you know and have learned... it's not a battle of databases and reference books .
5. Some examples of questions topics might be hardware, software, internet, prgramming, computer history...
6. Be considerate and merciful.... if no one gets the answer after about 5 days max, let us in on the answer and ask a new question .
7. If the question ages about 5 days with no reply from the author, then the 1st one who posted the "right" answer can post the next question; if that is ambigious, then the person who replied immediately after the author's original question can go next & get the quiz back on track.
8. Extra info: After people give their answer and a topic is disposed of, people may feel free to consult search engines & reference material to clarify & post minor details, since very few people including me can remember everything 100%.... Hopefully, we'll all learn tidbits as we go along, and post-question references can help make sure final answers are complete... so no one get annoyed if someone else adds some more details or makes minor corrections after the fact . Naturally, question makers should know the main details (correct answers) to their question before hand, LOL....
