Philip Michaels is being rather circumspect about his performance on this Mac trivia quiz. But it's an interesting one.

Check it out, then let us know how you went. Who is the AMW Mac trivia champion?

I got 10 as well, but found the spelling a bit finnicky.

I managed 12, would have been more but some of those names are tricky to spell.

I got 13. I should have remembered at least two others (Ted Turner and Bob Dylan).

No, no, I fully understand--I had the exact same problem. For instance, I kept spelling "MARIA CALLAS" as "MONICA BELLUCCI".

Or spelling John Huston as C-o-l-o-n-e-l-S-a-n-d-e-r-s. No, I didn't really think it was correct but I was stumped.

15.

14 for me. Ansel Adams was an inspired guess ... mountain + photographer =? How'd you all do on the Apple products test? I got 17 out of 27, and kicked myself for those I couldn't remember.
