WHEREAS the year was indeed, 1981.
WHEREAS a mysterious "figure" silently emerges on a page. No, its not Hama's Silent Issue. Its a more shadowy, unknown, earlier issue; Playthings Magazine, Nov. 1981. Thus it appears 1981 can be included with 1982 as somewhat of a combined "fiscal year" ushering in the ARAH legend . WHEREAS 2011-2012 can and may be seen as a "fiscal" anniversary year. Can and should the 30th Anniversary of ARAH be celebrated and unleashed earlier in a factual (fiscal) anniversary year, 2011-2012?

We won't be seeing any modern age ARAH for years to come.
They are way to focused on POC and making bad file cards.

do you celebrate your wedding anniversary on the date you met your wife? of course not. the 30th Anniversary is the 30th Anniversary of the products release, not when it was conceived by a designer in the shower, or sketched out on a napkin at Denny's, or simply advertised. throwing in "fiscal" doesn't make it factual. the factual year is as we know it -- 1982.

Good question. It would be a good excuse to start it. They can at least start some adds for it. Good catch!

However companies often like to get an early start and a late finish to anniversary stuff... I just think all the "whereas"is in that post were cute.

Also, my hip is broken and I'm unable to shoot from it.

I mean I wouldn't put the line out but I would sure as hell start the hype. |

technically, the factual fiscal date for RAH was probably 1980 or 1979 when it was conceived and work began on it. whoops, sorry, looks like we missed the 30th Anniversary.
