Ooh, 8 out of 10 - only the first and last questions defeated me.
I scored 9/10
I was thrown by the portable PC question as the Compaq Portable PC was the first one of its type and not the IBM Portable. Kind of a trick question in my view.
5..... *dribbles*
*soils self*
:(
I've got 5 out of 10 as well, so you're not alone JT. :) Can't believe I got the Neo-Geo wrong. :(
We just can't get the staff. ;) :lol: Surely you are not all getting that old?
Wow, I scored a 10 out of 10! I took the test while my wife was making dinner. She asked what I was doing and I told her I was taking a retro computer test. I told her I made a perfect score. Her reply was "I don't doubt it, as much as junk you have in the spare bedroom!" I think it's time for me to turn off the PC and do something else... :zipped: :owned: :doh2::dighole:
Don't you mean young? If they were old then they'd get all those ancient computers. All the computers were old which is why they only got 5 out of 10 as they don't teach computer history at GCSE level yet. It's only the old fogies that get more than 5 (Guess what score I got);).Quote:

I was implying senility was starting to set in! ;)
8/10. I didn't recognise the IBM luggable or the Sega Saturn. Lucky guess with the NEO-GEO!
