Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
12 thanks Zico.
I should have got more!
Given that before I retired, I was teaching on degree-level computer networking courses .
In my defence, I taught nothing (could stop there
) too technical. And it was 13 years back. Moore's Law (not Bobby's) implies that computing power and the associated technology would have increased 64 fold since then! (Although Moore's Law itself is probably due for retirement!!) Still, there's little excuse really other than time.
