AI post a news clip about how the new iPod 1984 ad displays tomorrows date on the large viewscreen, and then I go and look, and tomorrows date is on the original 1984 ad!? WTF?
Now the news clip has been removed from AI, but still the question remains...
Why is the date January 26th '04 on the original 1984 ad?

This has been pretty much hashed out elsewhere on the net.

But yes, it's an eight. Compare it to the definite zero in the next line below it for the time.
