Jeopardy

[JohnEZ]

Hey,

Did anyone catch tonight's Jeopardy? If you didn't... in the first round they dedicated a category to Apple Computers. Just think... for once what is common sense in the Mac community could have actually earned someone up to $3000.

Just thought ya might be interested.

Was there a Quicktime question too? I walked into my room while my roommate was watching Jeopardy, and heard "What is Quicktime" and it was the right answer.

After that, I didn't pay attention, had I known there was an Apple category, I would've

I watched it last night. There was one question that made me laugh so hard. This road that crosses Nebraska from east to west seems endless but it is only 455.3 miles.

What made me laugh was last summer I drove it. With a hundred or so miles on both sides. In a day.

I tell you what...the answer for What is Quicktime would have stumped me even after I knew the question.

It was something to the effect of "This 'speedy' software runs on both PCs and Macs." It makes sense, but I started racking my brain for every piece of software that both use. Maybe Quicken, maybe OS X (when the intels are released), maybe iTunes. Even after hearing the question I couldn't figure that one out.
