Last year Ford offered advertising disks for PCs in Byte or somewhere.  It was
fairly dry text and elementary graphics, interesting more in its existence than
in its content.  But hey, it was a free disk...  I just sent in the response
card offering this year's disk, now in Apple, C-64 and {something else}
formats as well.
