This is not an original copy of the advertisement. This is typeset horribly from the original text of the ad, probably.

Giveaways are brutal/ill placed line breaks, zero quotes being curly ones (single and double), -- instead of a en/em dash, missing hypenation or existing one that does not align with typesetting "dis- play", etc., etc.

Why not use an image of the original instead? [1]

Jobs would have never signed off on a typographic eyesore like this. :]

Thanks for pointing that out. The real ad appeared in the computer magazine Interface Age, September 1976 page 13, as can be seen in the Internet Archive. I think it's important for Hacker News to avoid fake/replica historical info so it doesn't end up like Reddit, where you can't trust anything.
