The Conspiracy Continues (5/7/98)

AtAT's viewers continue to amaze us with their sharp eyes and commendably overdeveloped senses of paranoia. This time it's faithful viewer "Edward Pollard," who risked life and limb to alert us to a continuing conspiracy that has surfaced on AtAT several times in the past. Here's the scoop, in "Edward's" own words:
Recently, Guy Kawasaki sent a message across the EvangeList in regards to an article on abcnews.com about Apple.
In this article is a picture of a CompUSA Apple boutique. But something was wrong-- very wrong. I saw this and smelled red tape and cover up-- a sloppy PR job and spit and polish to cover the TRUTH! Using my pixel sniffer I unearthed the ORIGINAL image that was taken for this PR photo, which was then touched up to cover the grisly and painful reality. The truth is out there.
Continue to fight for the cause. I fear they have discerned my location. I will send more information if I can recover it. They shant be this sloppy again I am sure.
Once you view "Edward's" illicit original image, we strongly suggest that, for your own safety, you follow standard AtAT procedure to cover your tracks. First, kill your internet connection, and then, just to be sure, disconnect the phone or network cable from the back of your computer. Next, tell your browser to clear its disk cache. After that, boot from a Disk Tools disk and do a low-level reformatting of your hard drive. And finally, remove the hard drive from your computer, soak it thoroughly in gasoline, and then burn it beyond physical recognition. Yes, it's a hassle, and it gets expensive after a few times, but it's the price we pay for eternal vigilance.

 | | The above scene was taken from the 5/7/98 episode: May 7, 1998: For a computer that's still 90 days away, the iMac is taking the world by storm. Meanwhile, debate over the usefulness of the floppy drive (as well as confusion over whether or not one will be made available for the iMac) rages on, while a sharp-eyed faithful viewer spots something fishy in a CompUSA store-within-a-store PR photo; is there no end to the frightening conspiracy it reveals?...
Other scenes from that episode: 682: iKnow That iWant One (5/7/98) As we're sure you've noticed, everybody on the planet is writing about the iMac, Apple's newly-unveiled consumer-level Mac due for arrival within the next 90 days. And the good news is, just about all of the mainstream press has been positive... 683: Flip-Floppying Around (5/7/98) Okay, yes, as of right now, the iMac has no floppy drive. The debate over this issue is pretty fierce. We've heard from viewers who say that the lack of a floppy drive could be a serious roadblock on the path into consumer's homes, because the kids won't be able to transfer their files between school and home, and the parents won't be able to bring home that proposal they were working on to finish up at night...
