Nice picture of a young and sprightly looking Bill at the top of the page... looks like it was created on MacPaint.

Wow, much coincidence...

I'll go and hide in the corner while all onlooking HN readers facepalm.

I thought the same thing - I think its a limitation of the digitization of the original image.

It was en-vogue at the time - I used to read MacWorld at the time, and saw lots of Mac-like representations of real-world things on it's pages.

Kind of like today where many images try to gain cachet by referencing iPhone/smartphone (look at our web-page-as-an-App).
