- rkachowski 5y agoIs this a comical misquote or is the PDF format actually 60 years old?
- wccrawford 5y agoIt's a comical, deliberate misquote.
- SethMurphy 5y agoComical misquote, "Switch to PDF" replaced "Go to the Moon".
- dalbasal 5y agoIts comical, but links to the founder of Adobe. IDK what the date alludes to.
- coldtea 5y agoIt's about 30 years old - it's creator however is said person. The actual quote was from JFK iirc regarding the Apollo missions...
