Description of Program (brief): Comuputer Trivia Quiz is a
unique and fun learning game in which one to six players can
match their knowledge about computer terms, history, famous
figures, and other computer-related trivia. Players can

each question.
Detailed Program Description: Computer Trivia Quiz is a learning game
----------------------------- for people of all ages, computer skill,
education level, and user experience. The program allows the user
to test his/her knowledge of computer terms, computer history, our
famous and not so famous founders, ground-breaking events, trivia,
etc. Computer Trivia Quiz is written for those who wish to become
more computer literate.
The range of subjects is wide. They cover computing from the stone
age (Stonehedge) to questions about DOS (name a command new to DOS
3.3). The questions are designed to provide an enjoyable exercise
in learning about early microcomputers (remember the Altair?), the
various computer models (what was the first operational electrical
DIGITAL computer?), individuals important in computer history (who
was the first programmer?), computer inventions, their inventors &
trivia (like how did the name Winchestor come up for hard drives),
software (who wrote Applewriter?) and much much more!!!
Computer Trivia Quiz is organized as multiple choice game in which
up to six players can play. When answering a question, the player
can look at the "hint". The hints are full of useful information
and make an enjoyable reading and learning tool! Questions, hints
and answers (correct and incorrect) were written with the intended
goal of increasing the users understanding of computers, no matter
what level of computer knowledge and sophistication the individual
user possesses.
Those that are experts with computers can learn interesting things
from this program. Beginners can quickly develop a literacy about
computers which will surely amaze their friends. Do you know what
kind of a bug the first computer bug was? (hint: it was alive and
crawled into a relay...) Try this program!!! We think you will
agree that there's lots of neat things in this one!!! We believe
you will have fun! Guru level individuals looking for a challenge
should set the time limit to 10 seconds and see how many questions
in a row they can get correct.
