So I actually saw a commercial for 1-800-Dentist this morning instead
of blipping over it with the Tivo.

This is the ad that shows a woman going over a checklist of things to
do, and the voice-over says that times are busy and "finding a
dentist" doesn't normally make your list.

Then it says to call or "go online". Now here's the funny part:

The Computer "icon" they use on-screen just above the website address
is...

an Apple //c, a //c color composite monitor, and a 3.5" disk drive
right next to it on the left.

Yes, it is a modern illustration of one, but there's no denying what
it is.

It's not on youtube or the website yet, or I'd give you a link. But
trust me, it is there, and I pratically fell out of my chair when I
saw it.

Apple II Forever!

I remember in my high school health class textbook there was an image with a woman working with a similar setup, IIc, color composite monitor and 3.5" Unidisk. I can't remember what the context was (careers, word-processing?) but I found it humorous they were still using such a dated photo. Gotta love old stock images.
