ATPM 6.06
June 2000

This is the latest in ATPM’s series of Trivia Challenges. Answers to this month’s Trivia Challenge will be found in the next issue of ATPM. If you have any suggestions for future Trivia Challenges, or would like to contribute a Trivia Challenge, please e-mail me at egoss@atpm.com.

I would like to congratulate Brian Paul Ehni and Barry Elliot, winners in last month’s Trivia Challenge 6.05—Nickname This! This month’s prize of a dynamite ATPM T-shirt goes to the first two correct entries I receive at egoss@atpm.com. Individual readers are eligible to win only once every twelve months.

This month’s Trivia Challenge is a list of famous people’s names and their real names. See if you can match the well-known person on the left with his or her real name on the right as you take part in:

Trivia Challenge 6.06—Didn’t I Know You When?

Last Month’s Answers—6.05—Nickname This

The Rules

Each question has only one correct answer. The answers are stored in a hermetically sealed envelope guarded by a playful Siamese cat named “Bonnet” who lives in our house.

This Month’s CD Recommendation

“ Both Sides Now” by Joni Mitchell. Mature of voice and confident in her material, Joni Mitchell finally has released a jazz album that will make fans happy and longtime critics embarrassed. Using a full orchestra, with her voice as the lead instrument, Joni tackles familiar and lesser-known songs with an emotion that will draw you into each performance. I predict you’ll listen to this one more than once when you first get it. It’s that good!

Parting Pointer

The Parting Pointer is ATPM’s “Tips and Tricks” section. If you have a pointer that you would like to share with other readers to make their Mac experience easier or more enjoyable, please send it to me at egoss@atpm.com. Here’s this month’s Parting Pointer:

Spam This
Believe it or not, you can help the fight against spam by forwarding all of your unsolicited e-mail to The Spam Recycling Center. They use the information contained in the e-mail to alert service providers and other enforcement agencies of misuse of e-mail. The SRC Web site has tips on how to avoid or minimize spam. You can also turn your spam into steaks or burgers with a 40% off offer from Omaha Steaks. Just forward your unwanted e-mail to spamrecycle@ChooseYourMail.com, being sure to add your state abbreviation to the subject line, and The SRC will add that info to their database. As I write this, the “Spam-O-Meter” is approaching three million pieces of spam!
