This may seem weird as I am commenting on a similarity between two
commercials that occured one either before I was born and the one just
recently aired, but doesn't the latest computer commercial remind you
of that old apple commercial where the lady in red shorts with the
hammer goes running up through the whole 1984-type set up and smashes
an (IBM?) movie-hypno-message-projecture with a sledgehammer? This
may be stretching your memories a bit, but if anyone else remembers
this, did they too note the similarities? Did anyone think they might
have been sort of quietly stealing the theme of the commercial? I am
probably just tired. Well, anyway, good night extropians... It's 9:16
pm here.
