I'll pitch in here - in the UK we have a really cool 'time warp' Volkswagen Golf advert. It starts in the 70s when a guy who looks disturbingly like the young Steve Jobs, visits the Volkswagen factory for an interview. He is then seen designing and opwrking on the original Golf, and every so often the advert time warps, with people's fashions changing etc, and this guy getting older. In one of the final scenes in the ad the guy is sat at a desk analyzing stuff on a computer. It looks to me like an old PC box or a something, anyway there is a time warp and the scene flicks through about 6 time frames in which the PC becomes a Mac then the Mac gets newer as tis guy gets older. When it stops it's a G4 (probably a Cube) with a 21" Flat Panel and the little Pro speakers (ala iMac G4), and the guy is like 50-something and wears typically stylish wire-framed glasses and is graying. He walks out into the factory and i nthe last scene he walks into a room filled with engineers and the new Golf, then the final time warp shows all the different Golfs of the last 30 years in rapid sequence, old to new.
It's a damn fine advert, and has Macs in. What more can one ask???
