22 January 1998
I began my journey with a few random searches on Alta
Vista, to no avail. Then I thought I'd take a chance at IBM's
web site, to even less avail. Finally, I turned to usenet.
Little did I know that such a beautiful group as alt.tv.commercials
existed, or I'm sure I would have been in there long ago. I posted my question
and received a pointer to TVWavs.com, where
I found my commercial and oh so much more. My computer and I are very happy.
Don't have a sound card? Too bad... you'll just have to go on to
My Pages.
The person I live with walked in the door
a few days ago carrying a Mac SE/30, which we then had to name. Feeling the
burden to name a computer either Baxter (from the Meow Mix commercials) or
Hadley (from the IBM commercials), we decided immediately to name it Hadley.
My job, then, was to go out to the web and find the IBM commercial so we
could use parts of it as system sounds.
