What more can one ask???
I want to see it! What a great clip it would make for
both Corporate archives. Volkswagen and Apple are
making a mistake if they don't allow this to be
circulated and exploited.
Speaking of exploitation, my favorite Mac and bun
spotting has to go to the magazine cover of Oct. 2000
Playboy. The Mac laptop being coyly carried by the
unusually (for the exploitive magazine) healthy and
natural young lady is inspirational. I only wish that
this type of recognition would be more popular.
