Adobe celebrates, drunk, forty years since the creation of the computer with a picture and seven errors

August 12 IBM celebrates 40 years of its first computer : “It is not the first personal computer, nor the most efficient … but it has introduced computing into our daily lives”. On the same day, as if you were celebrating, Adobe posted on its Twitter feed cute little story :

It’s 1994. You’re the first to come home after school. Plays REM, and raises the volume. You carefully insert the Photoshop floppy disk into your home computer. Life is pixel perfect.

Except that for once, Adobe stuck its feet in the rug. Against the background of a stored image of a 3D computer rendered in the early 80s of the last century (Available here), a trainee graphic designer added a fileAbout the fund From the first version of Photoshop… on the Macintosh!

As noted Jason Elliott In response to this tweet we have a Mac version of Photoshop running on a PC, a 1994 student using software from the 1990’s on an old PC with a 5″ 1/4″ floppy drive even though Photoshop was only sold in version 3″ 1/2 … Add that we have the impression of seeing the back wall through the floppy drive bay, as if the computer was completely empty, and the sarcastic responses posted will understand the result of this post.

Come on, Adobe, you screwed up, come home! -badscrew
it’s so bad. Delete that and start over! -nuxnix
Yes man, this reminds me of when we can buy software instead of renting it – @ Point
And that’s what happens when you ask someone who doesn’t know anything about the ’90s to tweet something about the ’90s… they must have asked Google about the floppy… -HernanHyper
