I was searching the web today and ran across this article and couldn't believe it. It's really funny. I have included an excerpt of the article in this thread. You can also check out the link below for the full story.

"I blew it. It's as simple as that," said a visibly upset Steve Jobs as he announced he would step down as head of Apple, the company he co-founded on this day over 25 years ago. CFO Fred Anderson quickly announced the company would end its two-year-long transition to the UNIX-based Mac OS X and would release Mac OS 9.5 within the month.

Hmmm, if only it came out on April 2... But funny. The article didn't say anything like Safari will have tabs, a new iPod will be out soon, the Apple music service will be free, 10.3 will have a Full Metal Jacket look, free dual plasma flatscreen monitors to all .mac users, Quark 6.0 won't suck, Apple plans an iPhone/iPDA or anything like those did it? :confused:
 
Yes, a return to the past! That's what the computer industry is needing. After this announcement, Microsoft will announce that it is eliminating the GUI from its OS completely, and PC makers will announce the return of th 286.

And they'll laugh at us while saying, "Try running our software on those! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"
