Windows Magazine once ran a cover with a photo of a Macintosh, looked like the 7300 or beige G3 desktop type case. Their reply to my e-mail said they'd received many e-mails about it. ;) ISTR there were also some words with the art department about it too. Another oops I remember was around about 1998, in Computer Shopper or PC Mag, in a review of the latest and greatest PC systems. The reviews all had small pics of the systems, but one was a little different. On its monitor was either Windows 3.1 or NT 3.5. ;) ===== It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
