Had to remove the /1, but good find. That does seem to put the right timeframe -- and with confirmation they're real presenters too. It's not a matter of finding a c. 25 year old clip from the news to base a fake on, it would be finding one from about March-May 1996 (which itself would be amazing to have for no reason), and then replace it.

I'm leaning more to "this is real", but it's astounding there's no reference to it before yesterday.

Why? It wasn't nationwide, it was local. They said a few hundred boxes on shelves for less than 24hrs.

The only people to know would be people seeing two 60 sec local news clips. Info didn't spread the same back then as it does now.

Again, not proof that it happened, but also not a shock that if it happened there aren't records of it.

I'd expect something like this to have been mentioned in the seattle linux user group, and from there into gorups like comp.os.linux.advocacy
