The Daily Teaser …

Hmm …

Well, THAT seemed to work …

Actually, I don’t know if putting yesterday’s teaser, but I know I enjoyed making it … !

At any rate, I know I had everybody bar Andy putting in their answers, yesterday. Saying that, I’m going to grant the point to everyone on Q1: I think my sources have made a date mix up, on that one.

In any case, yesterday’s Teaser saw Simon getting the official First-In-Clap, and he, Tim, Trevor and Jan, all get four out of five: with Andrea actually winning, with five out of five.

I’ll be double checking it with Dan, Trevor, but from what I can see, Apple didn’t introduce the mouse, until the introduction of the Macintosh, a few months later …
