And now the company that developed the program for Ford and installs them has gone largely Mac in its own offices. smile.gif

Was it Ford that had the "better idea" ad campaign? If so, maybe they should revive it.

I do remember their "Ford, that's incredible!" ads, followed by "have you driven a Ford lately?". After that, when somebody would do something really stupid, I'd say "Have you driven a Ford lately?" and they would have no idea I really meant "that's incredible!" devilishgrin.gif
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Considering the state of the Ford Motor Company, they should have done this a couple years ago.  rolleyes.gif
