I guess someone recently found and scanned the old 90s magazine that it was in? (attributed to PC Format, July 1995, issue #46) Not inconceivable; a lot of stuff from that era was never archived electronically. Passes the smell test, at least.

> PC Format, July 1995, issue #46 Google says the source is Facebook - which you didn't mention. Sure. It's possible. It's also just as possible they're lying and they intentionally picked a source that's not digitally checkable. People will do anything for likes and upvotes.

Facebook didn't exist in 1995, so yes, we're talking about the original source. Like I said, it passes the smell test -- these kinds of "celebrities like technology too!" profiles were super popular then. (Source: was a nerd in the 90s.) If it makes you happier to assume it's fake, then do so.

dufe you're arguing with is a Matt Yglesias follower so you can safely ignore him

I feel silly now.
