Well, yes it's a brilliant commercial that is probably clear to
anyone interested in purchasing either brand. And, yes they may
have created an instant archtype. But look at the brilliant archtype
they are up against - good old Charlie Chaplin, the antithesis of
the machine age man. I always wondered why smart old IBL** chose such
a clod-type character (other than to sell computers, I mean). Now
I can see that through superior industrial espionage they could
see the Apple commercial coming and got there first with the counter:
If you are too inept to package a cake or a hat, an IBM-pc will make
you rich overnight.
