January 9:
A.D. 1768: The first modern-style circus is held in London.
A.D. 2001: Apple announces iTunes...
and A.D. 2007: Apple announces the iPhone.
I never did like Apple's products. iTunes stinks--I much prefer Media Monkey myself.
It's amazing how many unimportant dates there are, historically speaking. This thread could get boring (for me--I assume it's already boring for you).
