- Senn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+171Gotta love these bbspot articles. Always sorts out the people who can or cannot realise satire when they see it.
- corkdorkdan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+142This line is great:
"Sales figures from that year show that if all people who bought the computer claim the refund, Apple could be liable for almost $70,000." - chicagospur, on 10/10/2007, -3/+135I would rather have $7,000 in Apple stock options from 20 years ago.
- Figs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+128Actually, I thought it had "satire" written all over it ;)
- maverex, on 10/10/2007, -6/+116Yay it's about time!! Damn.. if only I kept my receipt for two decades..
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+108"People interested in the refund will need to bring in an original receipt showing they bought the Lisa in 1983 and proof of purchase from the Apple Lisa box."
NICE - cgruber, on 10/10/2007, -2/+101What's funnier is the people that think it's real.
- fluidfoundation, on 10/10/2007, -0/+63(makes airplane motion over head)
- hifiDesign, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51You're right. It's like an idiot Captcha.
- zdiggler, on 10/10/2007, -2/+49Digged for people actually on here actually believe the story..
- xaxxon, on 10/10/2007, -3/+48do you even know what stock options are?
Perhaps you meant "stock".. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+43I AM USING THE INTERNET AND UNABLE TO COMPREHEND SATIRE SO I AM OUTRAGED.
- BigGrant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35apparently this went way over your head
- msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33Separated by intelligence.
- tempusrob, on 10/10/2007, -5/+37Or perhaps that the Onion has better writers?
- dephrye, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32*One person's satire is an idiot's hoax.
- arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31bbspot is satire, like The Onion.
- plamoni, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30I'm glad to see someone else noticed... I broke out laughing when I saw that...
- cyberdork33, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28Thanks for doing the math for us, that was tough.
- macbth, on 10/10/2007, -4/+31The Lisa
http://www.apple-history.com/?&page=gallery&model=lisa - Kitsune818, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26wtf?
- bjs3171, on 10/10/2007, -7/+32*****. at first i was like "ok very funny." then i looked and saw it wasn't the onion, so i was like "damn, i guess it's real." then i was like "damn, i'm an idiot."
- Kitsune818, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Hence, the joke.. (bitch slap)
- gharding, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24***** YOU MEAN I'M NOT REALLY GETTING $7000?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -13/+37Would've been better on The Onion.
- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -4/+26Dugg for saying Digged.
- Kombatant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Nice to meet you, Capt'n Obvious ^_^
- iticu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19/face-palm.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19I think that falls under cruel and unusual punishment
- jaxxon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20iSuck
- pauleric, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19Chicagospur seems to have a better idea what they mean than you do. I would definitely like to have the option to buy a bunch of Apple stock with $7000 at a stock price which was set 20 years ago.
- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17But will it run Oregon Trail?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Not to mention the box...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15If only the red digg down button had a bitch slap machine attached to it.
- munkyxtc, on 10/10/2007, -7/+20"Sales figures from that year show that if all people who bought the computer claim the refund, Apple could be liable for almost $70,000." Excellent.
- bromac, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Um...the Onion didn't invent satire. And satire is imitation in itself.
- bravo1995, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Wait, The Onion invented satire? Good for them!
- SirBotchness, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17what about anyone that has used an apple mouse?
- Rustbelt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Yeah, it's real. In fact, if you have the receipt from the Lisa and your iPhone you double up on your rebates.
- gharding, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11My parents have a filing cabinet that has all receipts of major purchases since 1974 or so. I'm pretty sure it still holds the receipt and manual for the Commodore 64 they bought in 1985 or so. I doubt they're the only ones who keep stuff like that.
- msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11bbspot is a fake news site, you realize that, right?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15I think they couldn't get in contact of Steve Jobs for comments due to the fact that his iPhone was out of it's service area, and Steve didn't want to incur the hefty AT&T roaming charges.
- roomforpanic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Don't strain yourself.
- bromac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10No. I felt something like satire hit me square in the face though.
- Rethcir, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13And succeeding
- BrandonMills, on 10/10/2007, -6/+16My friend's Duke Nukem Forever reservation at Babbage's ( now Gamestop ) has faded away due to how much time has passed between the initial reservation in 1998 and now. Not to mention that the store it was reserved in was shutdown.
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -4/+14Digged for saying Dugg.
- coheedcollapse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10It's a fake news site. The article is a joke.
- Chordonblue, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Ha! They should refund the money from everyone that bought an Apple III...
- redxxx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11You're dumb.
