I got 8/10 - missed the "how many Apple I's were made" and the one about the US magazine naming the greatest gadget.
But that question was crap, anyway, terribly vague.

8/10. Darn Q3 and Q8.
Q3: I knew it was something with 666, I read about it. Just forgot that it was the price, not the sales units.

9/10. The only one I got wrong was the question pertaining to the Apple I, and it's because I didn't bother to read the question since after seeing '666' as one of the answers I figure it was asking how much it cost.

10/10. I guess the Apple I one, though. Didn't know how many they made, but I knew it was sold for $666.

Same here. They were weird questions. I agree, who care what the billionth song downloaded was?

You got 10 right!
You live and breathe Apple, eagerly waiting for the latest shiny gadget to come out of California
I rock
Although I guessed on #3 (How many Apple I's were produced) and #6 (capacity of the first iPod).
<edited to add>
I just had an idea.
Maybe Steve can bring back another 70s trend for the 30th anniversary, the Pet Rock, except it would be called the iRock.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Same here but still got the designation: You live and breathe Apple, eagerly waiting for the latest shiny gadget to come out of California, same as a 10/10.

9, I got the Time article wrong I figured it might have been the PowerBook or the iMac, and I figured I was actually wrong but it made sense. Was it the iMac or the PowerBook?

It tells you the correct answers at the end. It was the PowerBook.

Actually, the article that they're referring to was published in Mobile PC Magazine back in February 2005. It's just a trick question - that I missed.
8/10 here.

8/10. I got Q2 (Apple logo), and Q3 (how many Apple I were built) wrong.
Anyone read the other article on the BBC today about why Apple has changed the world more than the Sex Pistols (who are also celebrating their 30th)?:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4863986.stm
I was four at the time, so can't exactly recall what influence either had (except that I now own three Macs and zero 'Pistols albums).
