Wow!

Actually, care for an even BIGGER shock?  On a BILLBOARD no less, ya
know, those huge monolithic signs by roads, I saw an ad and it had a
picture of about the same equipment, and no Mac picture.  I *believe*
it had to do with the supermarket receipt / computer plan also.  Of
course this sign is in West Lafayette (not your major metropolis by
any stretch of the imagination) and it was a pretty bland, uncolorful,
and didn't really attract the eye, I think it was put up by one of the
local supermarkets in relation to that deal, and it didn't say IIgs,
but hey it WAS there!  I should go see if it still is!  Maybe I could
'appropriate' it hehehe.
