Yes, you certainly did! Although like all good ads it no cables plugged into
it, just a machine sitting on a desk. Kellogs Start cereal (which I eat all
the time BTW) had an ST on the back of the box a few times showing busy
business people who need a good "start" in the morning. Same story, no cables
and they even pretended the mouse was plugged into the back of the machine.
What a good idea!
