    I still fall from time to time those click bait "quizzes" such as
    "how much of this do you know/remember?" things. Those are a waste
    of time but I still find myself clicking those...

    Another good reason to not be on facebook... so many more chances
    to waste time... <G> I can waste enough time doing the quizzes that
    show up from time to time in Fido echoes... ;)

    Quizzes in Fido echoes? Which ones?

    Haven't seen any lately, actually... but there's been a couple of
    Christmas ones that used to show up fairly regularly right here in
    MEMORIES... I probably still have at least one of those... maybe I'll
    post it when we get closer to Christmas... ;)

    I put together an audio quiz for ALL:


    https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/memories/
    name%20that%20artist%20and%20cd.mp3

    The short url = https://tinyurl.com/y3jxndbw


    It is a mashup of 7 intros of tunes, the 8th being a reprise of the 1st sample. Total time, 3 minutes.

    Can you name the Artist, and the specific recording? All tunes are from
    the same recording.

    Heheheh! I tried to select "distinctive" opening riffs and cutoff the
    sample right before the vocal starts. Lyrics would make the quiz way too easy and too tempting to cheat with google.

    The tunes are pretty cool, aren't they?

    I'll drop a clue or two in a few days.

    Unfortunately, my computer can't do that sort of thing.... but I saw Joe
    went and checked it out...
