Hello everyone,
I am putting together a GIS-themed game of Jeopardy for an upcoming
conference session. While I am having a lot of fun coming up with the
questions, I would like to make sure that they cover a broad range of
topics and varying degrees of difficulty. I am also kind of stumped for
a Final Jeopardy question. So, if you have any thoughts on the matter,
references or resources to suggest, or maybe even a question or two,
please reply to this post or email me at david@more.net. Thanks!
Regards,
David

students to test what they know ;)

This may be a bit hard as the answer to this question is shrouded in
the early dawn days of our discipline, but:
Who invented the free cursor digitizer?
Dr. Ray Boyle,
In the 1970's Ray also had an amazing automated cartography lab at the
University of Saskatechewan where they developed and used interactive
programs for such applications as automated line following
(digitizing), automated symbology placement, decluttering, etc. All on
PDP 8-e minicomputers with a memory particition of 32 Kbytes! And all
the software was written in assembly.
