From PANS: the Pre-Apple Notes and Scribblings
(Since iPhone 4 fever is still going–albeit waning– we are pleased to bring you a newly unearthed journal written by Liliburn H. Jobs shortly after he settled in what was to become Cupertino. Only a few entries are still legible; the journal was found in a box tangled in the roots of a tree.)
March 21st, 1864: I was right! The tree in our north pasture is indeed an apple tree. Lisa and I have a new wager: I say it’s a Macintosh, she says Golden Delicious. We shall see. Our house construction comes along well, although we continue to await our shipment from the glazier.
August 4th, 1864: Lisa owes me again! That tree is indeed a Macintosh. When I took my first bite of it’s fruit, it was like a great, solemn chime rang out, sonorous and simple. I have named this tree “Apple 2″ because Lisa lost two bets to me on this tree. We still await our shipment from Washington. Our house is nearly finished, but still a bit drafty.
October 12th, 1864: at long last our windows arrived from Redmond. We installed them into their frames, but are not pleased with the results. EAch of the four panes has a different tint, one blue, one green, one yellow, one red. In addition, there have been a number of holes that we have had to patch, and a number of bugs seem to sneak through the frame. It is a wonder to me that these windows are so popular. I’ve half a mind to go into business competing with these know-nothings from the north, but I fear it may be too late to make significant headway in that market. I’ve got to think different.
Very funny. You’ve still got it, Nate!
D’aaawww, thanks!
It sounds like the start of a great story; the crew ought to get a permit and dig around for more artifacts, or artifiction.
On a side note, I notice that in the last day Crazy Apple Rumors Site is throwing up blank pages. What’s that all about?
I looked at the page source at CARS, and this is what I see:
<!– Nothing to see here. –>
Moltz has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Ironically, the “nothin’ to see here” comment you included in your post got turned into a comment and disappeared. I fixed it.
But yeah, that’s scary. As much as I’d like to believe that he finally caved in to my obvious superiority, I’d really hate to see Moltz go off the air.
Thanks, Nate–I didn’t know how to encapsulate the code to display in the comment.
Without CARS, I’ll have to find new ways to waste my time . . . *sigh* . . .
You know Moltz. He likes to keep us guessing. He’s not consistent like Nate. Go Nate!

carumors CARS has been taken down by my hosting provider, I’m assuming because of a WordPress exploit. It’ll be back up… uh, someday.
