I have a copy of it on my wall. It was an Apple print ad showing a cat
sitting beside a half-melted Apple II or II+.
Long story short: cat knocked over a lamp, started a fire, melted the
computer. Guy took it into an Apple dealer, replaced the case and
keyboard, good as new.
Now, I'm certain I downloaded this from the Net last year, but for the
life of me I can't remember where from. I also don't seem to have a
backup of it anywhere :-<
