There is also another very funny Apple add (Apple UK?), where there is
a roomfull of 1800's telegraph operators transcribing messages
furiously.  Someone runs in and yells,

	"Alexander Graham Bell has invented the telephone!"

Everyone looks up in horror and disbelief, realizing their
livelihood's days are numbered.

Then we cut to a room of 1960's -looking secretaries, typing furiously, 
with a cruel boss pacing the aisles.  Someone runs in and yells,

	"Apple has invented the macintosh!"

Every secretary looks up with the same expression of horror and
disbelief!
