Welcome to the May ATPM Trivia Challenge! This month’s cryptic challenge is all about Macs—software, hardware, and everything in between. We also have our largest prize pool ever!
First Prize this month is a copy of Adobe’s fabulous new GoLive 4.0—the premier Web creation software package!
Second prize is my Favorite Album of All Time! We also have Mac books, music CDs, Star Trek books and Star Trek collectibles for other winners to choose from.
If any shareware authors, software or hardware companies or vendors, or on-line sellers that would like to donate prizes for future Trivia Challenges, please contact me at <egoss@atpm.com>. You will be credited in this opening message.
There are a few special rules for this month only:
1. The 5.05 Trivia Challenge contest will be open to anyone (except ATPM staff and
contributors) for a period of 3 weeks after the initial posting on our Web site
<http://www.atpm.com> to allow almost everyone a chance to participate.
2. After solving the Trivia Challenge, a secret message will be revealed within the
answers. Send an e-mail with your answers, using the secret message as the
subject line of the e-mail, to me at: <egoss@atpm.com>.
3. Winners will be chosen from completed, correct entries that also solve the secret
message. The first and second prize winners will be notified, and then other
winners will be allowed to choose from the prize pool in the order that the entries
were received until the prizes are gone. Since the prizes are provided by me, I
retain the sole right to award them according to the rules set forth above. No other
member of ATPM will be involved with, or responsible for, prize distribution. All
questions should be directed to me at <egoss@atpm.com>.
4. This is purely for fun. Please don’t ruin it for me and other readers by getting too
picky about the setup or running of this contest. It’s only for fun!
5. To solve the Trivia Challenge, match the question on the left with the correct
answer on the right. There are more answers than questions, so be careful as you
