The funny thing is, if you thumb through MacWarehouse's catalog, Kerry and Donna (featured in MacWorld/MacUser/etc ads) are the cutest girls there. Look at Debbie. She looks like an ex-football player with a sex change. The MacWarehouse ads are nothing compared to one ad which said "Hi, I'm Maria. Call me." The girl had a sultry look in her eye and had a pen at the tip of her mouth (BJ BJ!). She was dressed in skimpy attire. Look in the back of a Hustler or even a National Lampoon. Same type of girl, different type of service. - Clarence ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Clarence Kenneth Din oo | | ___ __ __ ____ | | \/ | Descartes' doth say... | // |/ || // || \\ | | University of Pennsylvania | "I thought, | || || || || | | din@grad1.cis.upenn.edu | Therefore, I ain't!" | \\__ || \\_ |__// | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
