The BBC’s web site features a 10-question multiple choice quiz, “How much do you know about Apple?”
Thirty years after it was founded on 1 April 1976, Apple Computer has grown from a tiny start-up to a household name and cultural icon. But how much do you really know about Apple?
Take the quiz here.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Paul” for the heads up.]
MacDailyNews Note: For the record, we took the quiz and got a perfect score — it’s not that hard (and we probably should be doing pretty well on Apple quizzes regardless of their degree of difficulty, right?) The Beeb proclaimed, “You got 10 right! You live and breathe Apple, eagerly waiting for the latest shiny gadget to come out of California.” The Beeb’s automated quiz-master obviously knows us quite well.

Damn! 9/10 – didn’t know the one about the QuickTake.
what button?
7/10. The stupid thing told me that I still rely on my Windows PC. Only at work, bubba!
I missed the original logo, how many Apple Is were made, and the gadget.
I stink.
Damn! Scored a zero!
“You got 7 right! You have dabbled in the world of iPods but still rely on your Windows PC.” Grr….that hurts….
8/10. Thought there were 666 Apple Is and got the original logo wrong.
Does this mean I have to install Windows now

I had no idea the Newton under the apple tree was the first logo…
The all time gadget foxed me – obvious answer of course was iPod.
So, a measly 8/10.
6 out of 10 (but if I’d got more, I would be seriously worried about my social life and would probably consider going out and getting a five dollar Bill Gates haircut)
10 out 10, I visit here quite a lot.
To see the original Apple logo, go here…

One may Google any question that they are unsure of… 10/10
The Apple -1 Operation Manual is here…

9/10, didn’t know about the all time gadget. Made me realize I visit here way too much.
10 out 10 with a bit of luck…

Damn that original Logo is really snappy. Simple and straight to the point.
Personally I think they should have stuck with it.. I can see that on my iPod.
(Hey lookit, I spelt IPOD right.. well up there I did)
Why go to the effort of googling? With those BBc quizes you can just click anything, find out the right answers and then go back and redo it. What’s the point though?

(indignantly) That’s cheating!
8 out of 10 – didn’t know they produced so few original Apple computers. And thought it was the iPod instead of the 100… oh, well.
Still, not a bad score – they could have made it much more difficult – MacAddict did a quiz in their mag a while back that was just brutal.
8/10, got the billionth song and the number of Apple I made wrong.
8/10
Wrong answer on Apple 1 (666 rang a bell, just the wrong one!) and all-time best gadget (guessed iPod).
Darn; 9/10. I got the 666 number mixed up between the price and the production run. Shoot!
MW: try–try, try again, I guess!
Whew, that original Apple logo sucked a$$! Good thing they changed it in a hurry…!
9/10: same problem as John… got the pricing and production run mixed up (tho’ I don’t think I ever knew how many Apple 1s were made). Now I do.
9/10, I missed the “Greatest Gadget of All Time” question. I guess I must have read that story at MDN before my morning coffee. Oh well!
9/10. i missed the question about how many apple I’s were created. i said 666 because i assocaited that number with the apple I. that’s what they sold it for. d’oh!
9 outta 10 ain’t bad.
