Rumour has it that the proposed Apple ad for SB XIX (why does the
NFL like Roman numerals?) showed a long line of nearly-identical blue-suited
businessmen, all carrying identical attache cases in their right hands,
marching off a cliff in lockstep: a not-so-subtle anti-IBM dig, which would
have been fun to see. Unhappily, Apple decided that businessmen might be
offended by the ad, and so they pulled it. Apple is turning gutless in its
wealthy age, I'm afraid.
