Maybe I'm on a different wavelength - I actually liked a lot of these.

I like the first two - think Mashable has missed a trick with the
second, the patronising was deliberate and riffed off. Quite like the
Newton one too. That UK one - is that Stephen Fry's voice?

There's a UK ad that came out around the time of System 7 and the LC /
IIsi. Can't remember that much except a business guy was moaning about
his staff not getting on with the new computers, and he couldn't
understand why because he "gave them all six weeks training". The
Mac-using business guy just raised his eyebrow. It's not a classic by
any means, but for some reason it has stuck in my mind and every so
often I try to track it down again. No luck yet though.


Cheers,
Ian

Number 8? I don't think that's Stephen Fry.

That last one is quite bad though!

Cheers ... Mark
