Macworld editor Philip Michaels laments the fact that the producers of Jeopardy! have demoted Macs to second-class citizens in the online test for new game-show candidates. Jeopardy! is perhaps more “with it” than MTV (though, let’s face it, so is paragon of unhipness Al Gore); instead of flat out denying Mac users the attempt to compete for the pleasure of staring a stage with Alex Trebek, the new online test’s FAQ merely states “[a]lthough we do not encourage you to take the test on a Mac, the test is compatible with the Mac OX operating system.”
Like Monsieur Michaels, I’ve been honing my knowledge of the patently useless for years now. Perhaps he and I shall meet in a climatic deathmatch, the likes of which has only been accurately portrayed by the great cinematic classic of our time.
Oh, I’ll play your game, you rogue.
