You have a few spare moments right now (I mean you're at work, or in class) so why not test your Mac trivia knowledge? Chris Adamson has whipped up a javascript based game that he called 'Who Wants to Be a Mac-ionaire?' Take the challenge and post your results in the comment.To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

I got up to the $500,000 question without needing to look anything up.

Oh, and the Centris 650 wasn't PowerPC based... A true mac-ionaire would know that! ;)

This loses credibility for the $100 question telling me one button is enabled by default on a mac mouse. Is this pre-mighty mouse or something? pfft

I made it to $20,000, without looking anything up. I'm a fairly new Mac user though - I had no idea what music festival Woz sponsored after he left Apple. :/

mighty mouse only has one button enabled by default, afaik. You have to specifically set the 'right' button to something besides click.

What of middle click and squeeze click? Dashboard and Expose. I'm being pedantic but the quiz should really point out what mouse they refer to - "a Mac mouse" could mean anything, I assumed it meant the most recent one. Meh.
Kind of a slap to the face to get the first question wrong =p

I made it to the $250,000 without cheating... and didn't know the million dollar question.

I made it to the 500,000.00 question... I had no clue on that one.
When can I expect my check?

I got to 1 million, but I did have to use the "Ask Google" lifeline for the last question :/

I got all of them, but had to guess on the $1M question. I guessed right, but I really had no idea.

I missed the $500,000 as well....
And, yes, that Centris question pissed me off because it wasn't a PowerPC system. Still got it right, though. Poor IIvx... Anyone remember seeing that machine in the movie "Bllank Check"?
"I am Mr. Macintosh."

Made it to the $100,000 question. Not bad, but not really good. I remember Blank Check well, it was the first movie I saw a Macintosh in!

Buschaga-
No one mentions "blank check" in polite company!
