Faithful viewer Larry Auerbach asks, "Is it true that Steve Jobs used to play Barnabas Collins on "Dark Shadows"? 
I'm not sure, Larry. Gimme a sec here to confirm this via the AtAT staff...
"Hey, a guy here wants to know if Steve Jobs used to play Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows."
"What's that? Steve Jobs used to play Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows?"
"Steve Jobs what?"
"He used to play Barnabas on Dark Shadows?"
"Thanx for confirming... Steve Jobs used to play Barnabas on Dark Shadows."
Yes, Larry, we have independent confirmation that Steve Jobs indeed used to play Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows. As if you needed it, above is the photographic proof, courtesy of TechWeb and The World of Dark Shadows. Strangely, Steve seems to have gotten younger since the 1966 vampire show aired. Could it be... a deal with the devil? And was that the warmup to the deal with Bill Gates? Only his agent knows for sure.

 | | The above scene was taken from the 9/24/97 episode: September 24, 1997: (Sorry—this was before we started writing intro text for each episode!)
Other scenes from that episode: 17: Apple Sued By "Ex" (9/24/97) We know it's kind of old news, now, but we think it's worth mentioning the lawsuit that Exponential filed against Apple Computer. The Ex-PowerPC contender used to be pretty friendly with Apple. Intimate, even, in a sugar-daddy sort of way; as Exponential's biggest shareholder, Apple kept them bankrolled while they slaved away on the Next Big Thing in PowerPC-compatible chips, the BiCMOS-based x704, which Apple wanted to feature in high-end Wintel-killing systems. What happened?... 18: Ooh, It's All So SORDID (9/24/97) Speaking of lawsuits, Apple's filed one of its own-- against a former employee. So reports the San Jose Mercury, who tells us that Gary Edwards, former head of Apple Imaging, is accused of accepting more than $1 million in bribes from printer component supplier James E. Grimes Co., in return for throwing said supplier $168 million in business... 19: "Hey, He Shot Bob!" (9/24/97) Hey, the new Bob LeVitus site is up and running. We've long been a fan of Bob's columns and books, because he manages to be informative while still being really, really fun to read. Go check it out, if for no other reason than to support another cool Mac-made site. We'd publicly like to state our sincere hope that the "Help Folder" column from MacUser survives the MacWorld/MacUser merger...
