    • Quantumiere (spelling?) trilogy has a version 1.0.3???? I bought a back issue of MacAddict (a magazine a really hate) just to get a copy of 1.0.2 (Brian Whalley told me where to find it--I couldn't find it anywhere else!).
      So, where can I get 1.0.3? Thanks to anyone who answers.

      5. When was the exact date that Apple Computer announced it first product?
      XXX XX, 1983 I am not THAT obsessed with Apple to know that....

      Nope, on Superbowl Sunday Apple introduced their first Macintosh products for release on January 31. Apple's first computer came out in late 1977, however.

    • Ah yes, now I recall their first commericial about 'Big Brother' -IBM- from superbowl sunday 1984.
      For some odd reason I was thinking about the first 'Mac' Apple made, which was invented in 83'. Oddly Windows 1.0.0 came out that same year, whats funny about it is that it was supposed to be for slower, crappier computers. The Lisa was a high quality, wonderfully designed machine and GUI.

      So its always been the Apple makes good, high quality machines with wonder user interfaces (look at Windows 1.0, its DOS with a mouse) while Windows is for slower, cheaper pieces of crap.

      Microsoft's first DOS came with Donkey.dat, a rip-off of frogger hmmmmm hehehe

      Now who knows the first video game and what year it was made?

    • Pong? Forget the year though....

    • Bzzzzzzzt! Wrong.

      Thats the popular idea of what the first game was, I believe pong was #3 or #4.

      It was the first POPULAR game, but not the first

      This is the first real electronic game ever made (before there were machine-operated games)

      1958
      In an effort to keep visitors to the Brookhaven
      National Laboratories in New York from being
      bored, physicist Willy Higinbotham invents an
      interactive table-tennis-like game that is
      displayed on an oscilloscope. He improves on
      his invention a year later by displaying it on a
      15-inch monitor. Believing that he hasn't
      invented anything, Higinbotham doesn't patent
      the device.

      This game eventually becomes Pong

      This is the first real video game ever made (before there were machine-operated games). The game was called Computer Space after an ASCII game called Spacewar developed in the 60's on a huge house-sized computer.

      Nutting Releases First Arcade Video Game

      Nutting manufactures 1500 Computer Space
      machines. The components are packaged with
      a 13-inch black and white TV set in a
      futuristic-looking cabinet. The first arcade video
      game is released, but the public finds it too
      difficult to play.
      the device.

      This game eventually becomes Pong

    • You got that 50% right 😛

      The 58' game was the first, but Pong came later and was not an evolution of it, simply a rewritten game that was alot like it, and by another author.

      It was also first made into an 'arcade' game at a bar, became an immediate success.

      The 2nd game was a space-like game, complete with stars. Can anyone name it?

    • This topic should be on the EVO or dev board.

    • Uh, Andrew, why whould it be on the evo or dev boards? It's 100% pure pasteurised spam.

      I owned an AppleIIc once...great little computer. I guess Apple III was overshadowed by Mac - A case of a simply better machine.

      Here again we see proof of the observation that the U.S. and England are "two counties separated by a common language."

      Is there actually a tool or device known as 'molegrips,' and if so what is it?
