Future Past

The The Philadelphia Inquirer Online has a cool article about William Gibson. Apparently, Neuromancer was inspired by a bus stop ad for an Apple IIc.

How cool is that?

I still have one of those computers in a box in my basement. I loved it. And I remember thinking how spiffy and high-tech it was with it's internal 5 1/4 inch floppy drive and such. :-)

Time flies.
