In the current Apple ad campaign, there is a new commercial, who's basic spin is that when it comes to education, more students around the world are educated with Apple computers than any other computer. In the mulinational settings of various students in various places, several shots of students in front of computers are shown. In addition to the several Mac LCs, Classics and IIsi's that are featured, in one shot, it is very clear to see that the machine being used is...yes, an Apple IIgs. At least marketing hasn't forgotten that K-12 is still buying Apple II's. --Rick Ewing Vanderbilt University ___________________________________________________________________
