Err - I think if you'd said "None" to the issues of Quercus were published in 2006, some people would believe it  |

I got a whopping 4 out of 10. Woo! Phear my supreme knowledge and memory of all things RISC OS. Or something. |

I was somewhat surprised to get 7/10 (I got 5, 6 and 10 wrong).
Easily pleased |

I got 3/10, and those were mostly guesses, but to be fair it's more of a TIB quiz than a RISC OS quiz. Most of the questions were about the cool people in the current TIB/RO scene, and I don't care about the people so much as the product. Badly named. |

Think context. I like using RISC OS. I've used it for many years. I enjoy the games, I like the programs. I don't care about the personal opinions and antics of the people who make these things. It's like when people get all fired up about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs - all fine and well in its place, but hardly relevant to the specifics of the product (or the hardware). I doubt a similar quiz on Windows or Mac OS would have such questions. It's yet another indicator of the direction the RISC OS scene is heading. |

Good grief, I think you're taking a lighthearted quiz a little too seriously!
I don't understand your problem with this at all.
If you really want questions about the colour of the Draw pencil and the last modified date of MessageTrans then I'll think about writing one, but I doubt it will be much fun to play.
I'm also fairly sure that a quiz about gaming would include Sony's "giant enemy crab" speech at E3, a quiz about Apple would mention Steve Jobs' stock options, and one about Microsoft would remind us about Steve Balmer throwing chairs.
One of the great things about the Acorn/RISC OS scene has been the community, and if you don't care about the people in it then I wonder why you're trying to be part of it. |
