savingpaper: CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D.

Apple Computer in 1997 (1987) →
This is so hysterically and historically ironic, considering what was going on with Apple in the 1990s, particularly 1997. But were they predicting the internet?
