From DC 2,000 #1

	That is exactly what I've always wanted to do to my comp when it faults. And to that fucking baby. (Reply to this)

	And this is why you don't give people in the past a Mac. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You got me thinking... what on earth is that logo? A pine cone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unrelated, yet apropos icon! kamino_neko 2009-03-03 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Looks like a bunch of grapes to me. I wish I could find my copy of DC2k to get a good look at it... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	From memory I think DC has the convention of using Pineapples or pears instead of apples to brand their laptops and generic tech devices as parody. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Makes me wonder who among the living original JSA'ers are Mac users. (Reply to this)

	You know, I bet 50+ years later, when these computers were actually invented, that the JSA felt really really stupid about all this. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's been a very, very eventful life...full of strange inventions, which frequently explode...they probably didn't remember the Informo-Scope in enough detail to realize it was an ConcordBook, or a laptop in general. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait...if the company is Grape, and their flagship if the Concord...that makes the next generation of the Concord the iCon. I am TOTALLY going with that, just for that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I just want to know how they got on the Internet in 1942. ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Or who put the satellites up for google earth to link to back in the 40's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I call government conspiracy! You see, Al Gore invented the internet back in the twenties in order to start the build up to faking the moon landings. When Lincoln had already gone to the moon, right before he was shot by the illuminate, why would they want to go again? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jarodrussell 2009-03-03 01:43 pm UTC (link)
	Or who was running Google Earth back in 2000. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You used to be able to buy CDs with yellow pages in them, not to mention maps. :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	filbypott 2009-03-03 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, but a phonebook that tells them where someone is living in the '40s? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	volksjager 2009-03-03 07:02 am UTC (link)
	Hmmm, it must have been running Vista. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lieut_kettch 2009-03-03 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Which explains a lot... you have to start it up in 1941 in order to receive Google Earth images from 2000. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh Man I remember reading this on the old scans daily. This was one of my favourite posts but i could never remember where it was from or why it happened! Thanks for posting it! (Reply to this)

	I'm posting this from my Informatio-scope! mcbangle 2009-03-03 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	This is awesome. Thanks for posting it! (Reply to this)

	That was fun :D I'm calling my computer "Informatio-Scope" from now on. (Reply to this) (Thread)
