Those who have been around ICT for a fair length of time might be interested in this wee quiz on the BBC website. Jeremy Paxman asked contestants on University Challenge to identify some old PCs from pictures of them. Click here and see if you can do any better than I did! One or two are obvious but not all of them by any means.

Do you know your history?

I just got 4 out of 10 - does that make me a geek ?
Gordon,
I managed 9/10 in the quiz. I didn't get the Sega Saturn, although not sure games consoles should be included in an old computer quiz.
I got 5 out of 10...which isn't had for someone who wasn't alive when quite a few of these were around.
4 of the 5 I got I actually knew. they were the mac, the sega, the commodore and the compaq portable.
So yeah, not too bad :P
