Yeah, the Mac was introduced in 1984 ("On January xx, Apple will introduce
Macintosh. And you'll find out why 1984 won't be like '1984'").
But Apple started in 1976, did it not? So the 20th Anniversary Mac isn't
the 20th year for Macincrashes...it's the 20th anniversary of Apples!
Never mind that most of those Apples are ]['s...
