Shameless recycling. On the other hand, if they ARE paying two million greenbacks a pop for the ad air time, they might as well get the best the the media world has to offer, huh.

Two years ago? You sure? Maybe they recycled that one too.... anyway, my dad talks about that commerical freuqently. It was the first commercial for Apple Computers ever.
