OT: Original iMac ad influences

[Judy Perry]

Noel,

Thanks!

Oh geez... sex toys... I'd better pass *that* one through my
department head first ;-)

So far I've found the Foreman grill, sport waters, *left-handed pens*
(if you can believe that), Sharp microwaves and a Row3enta iron of all
things.

Holy cow.  talk about a rapid integration into pop culture.  Several
cool interviews with Jonathan Ive also.

I'm pretty certain tyhere were some colored PCs that tried to
capitalize on the iMac's success; if anyone has any names that would
be really cool, too, as the poiknt is not to say A[pple rules because
they made colored computers buty rather to show students in a vary
obvious, visual way, that computers DO have some sort of impact in a
non-technological way on people, their social norms (different unit --
think of the need for many of us to 'take calls in the stall' if you
khow what I mean) and their non-computer tools.

Thanks again,

Judy
