Dam, made into prime positioning on Jambase. Nice large pics at the bottom too. I'd say the article got the Bill Murray pic up, probably wouldn't have happened without it. I like the BB shot at the bottom of the article. Great expression on his face.

Actually this photo and computer(the Apple 2). Is of the person who wrote the first computer virus. It was written in 1982 when this guy was in 9th grade. It made a poem come up on everyones screen who got the virus. It was transfered via floppy disc. They were the big floppy discs(they really used to be floppy). What we call floppy now was considered a hard disc.The hard disc was revolutionary I might add. Do we remember those days? Just a blast from the past-C
