Okay, so the hoax is that it's not for Teen Beat. Still--- why on earth is he posing like that!?

And the whole theory that it couldn't be 1983 because there's an Apple in the background isn't valid. For one thing, Gates and Co. were working alongside Apple writing applications before it was released.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
