Did you know...

Wasn't Leonardo da Vinci who forsaw the APPLE falling from the tree hitting Newton's head that spawned mechanica?

 

Did you know...

...that everything you read on the internet is true?

 

While the validity of any of that "demon" stuff is in doubt, it is entirely true that the original Apple I was priced at $666.66. As to why they priced it as such, who knows.

 

Wow, I hope they start a cource in hoaxology here at Bergen University, too... sounds very interesting...

 

I forget exactly why it was 666.66 - I a heard Steve Wozniak speech once where he claimed to have come up with that price - something about prime numbers, etc - a mathematical engineering joke of sorts.

 

no i didn't. but now that you say it everything suddenly makes sense......

 

Oh, I'm totally right on this one. Check out www.apple-history.com for more details.

Here's a gif file for the original print ad for the Apple I. ---> I couldn't upload the gif file. The original is on apple-history.com.

 

According to one site :

That having been said....

 

That's a lie! Oh wait.. it has to be true..

 

Darn it. Thats 2 minutes of my life spent reading this thread that I'll never have back.

 

So, like a sucker, I click the link above, and what appears:

"U.S.A. IS UNDER CONTROL OF THE DEMONS"

Now there is something that I might agree with.....maybe there is truth on the internet after all...

 

That guy has too much time on his hands. Get a job.

 

Yeah, Woz has answered this question too many times to count (and sometimes he even answered the same way ) and it ABSOLUTELY has nothing to do with "satan" or "demons".

freaking crazy religious people. i thought this argument was over 15 years ago. WHEN IT WAS DEBATED THE FIRST TIME!

 

The cynic in me says that the '$' sign has more to do with Satan than 666.66 because at last check, the Devil didn't bother rounding off to the nearest hundredth. Anyway, wasn't 666 invented by some 1940s Hollywood producer?

 

there's the gif from apple-history. don't buy the demonic thing whatsoever. if it were, they would have had a 666mhz tibook/powermac and such instead of xx67, wouldnt they? err...just ignore the 6100/66 and the 66mhz bus g3, etc

 

I must be thick because I'm more confused now I know its ALL true!

 

Now where did I put my tinfoil hat?
