1984 happens to be the year the first Mac and Windows came out (George Orwell)

[Gizmo j]

In 1949 George Orwell wrote a book called "1984" about how cameras and computers will take over the world and 1984 just so happened to be the year the first Mac came out.

The first Windows came out 1 year later in 1985 but Bill Gates was helping Steve Jobs with the first Mac beforehand.

People seem obsessed with referencing things, that they could not have possibly read. The 3 most often sited of late -

1. the U.S. Constitution
2.1984
3. Bible

And he didn't even linked the commercial = epic fail.
