Summary: 

There is another possible solution to the problem of an unrepentant
company featuring women in swim suits in its ads, and it is what has
happened here.

Distribute Computer Dynamics' name wherever you can, with specific
mention that they do what they do, they're not going to stop, they
hope to carbonate your hormones and thereby sway your business 
judgment.  Let them know that their behavior is known to tens of 
thousands of engineers on Usenet.  Let them also know that 
commentaries on their behavior will make it onto CBBSs and 
bboards (and gender-oriented mailing lists) throughout the world.
If they stand behind their ad campaign, they shouldn't mind that
everyone knows exactly what they're doing.

Oh, almost forgot - boycott them and let them know what you're doing
(and why).  It worked on Nestle, and that's a much bigger company.

Don't get mad, get even.  Kill 'em with the one thing they can't even
pretend to object to - publicity.
