It was aired in Sioux Falls, SD in the middle of December 1983 for Clio
eligiblily.  I just didn't know if it actually won the Clio or not.  Boy,
them were the days in Apple's advertising.  Like the full page add in '81
that said "Welcome IBM. Really."  And the times in 84 when they bought up
all the advertising space in a magazine issue just to promote the Mac. 
They need to get those advertising people back and keep the pricing people
they have now.  The Mac would definitely gain market share then.
