 I did, ONCE.  I was in the east San Francisco bay area about 3 years ago
at my grandfathers house.  We were watching TV and an ad came on showing
the IBM PC.  I talked about its bad user interface.  Then a Mac Plus was
shown and they made a point about its high price and no color.  They then 
showed an ST using Supra's picture blaster program, pointing out its use
of color and low price.  Very nice actually, but alas, the only way to see
it now is to get to Alpha Centuri before it does.
