Computers/Technology Quiz

[Ritwik]

Let's have a computers/technology quiz here. Members can post questions and others can try and answer them. I would request all of you to "think" of the questions instead of blindly lifting them from references or websites.

I'll start of with some fairly easy one:

Q. Expand SUN (as in SUN Microsystems).
Q. Expand IBM
Q. Who is usually regarded as the father of Video Games ?

And if you've an honest bone in your body, you aren't gonna cheat!

Awaiting the answers ...

 

[Kev]

I cant be bothered to cheat, and cant remember the answers to these (I did know them once, a long time ago ) but to me IBM has always stood for "It's Been Mended"
