Roadmap For The Information Superhighway Internet Training Workshop

MAP-EXTRA: Pop Quiz 2

"The Golden Age of the Net was last year. The Golden Age
of the Net was *ALWAYS* last year!!"
Rev. Bob "Bob" Crispen

This is going to be fun! This quiz only has four questions, but the questions require you to use the Internet to find the answers >:)

Again, do not send your answers to me. This exam is self-graded, and the answers will be posted in Pop Quiz #2 Answers (I want to give you plenty of time to complete this exam).

  1. There are literally THOUSANDS of files available through FTP that have the ".TXT" file extension. Tell me the exact location of just one of these files (hint: see MAP17: Archie).

  2. Rick Gates has a monthly competition called "The Internet Hunt." The Hunt asks ten of the most contrived questions you have ever seen, and the Hunt's participants have to find the answers using nothing but the Internet (and they also have to show where they found the answers).

    Come to think of it, the Internet Hunt is a lot like this pop quiz ... hmmmm ....

    I have heard that Rick places the Hunt results on the CICNET Gopher server (gopher.cic.net) in Michigan (U.S.)

    I am interested in the Hunt results. In particular, I am interested in May, 1994 results.

    Who won the May 1994 Internet Hunt in the individual category? :) (Note: you may want to bookmark the main Internet Hunt menu -- it is a WONDERFUL Internet training resource).

  3. I just tried a Veronica search and I got an "Empty Menu" error for a file that I know exists. I should call my local Internet service provider and complain, right? Explain your answer :)

  4. I want to subscribe to a LISTSERV list. The list's address is NAVIGATE@UBVM

    Tell me what I need to do.

BONUS:

What is Clifford Stoll's next book going to be about? (One of the questions above gives you enough information to find the answer).
