Jonathan Ross ad

I was clearing out my hard drive and came across this picture, which I’d quite forgotten about. It’s the scan of an old page from the November 1988 issue of MacUser that I found when I was putting together the 20th anniversary feature. I dug it out and sent it to Phill Jupitus, who in turn passed it on to the Jonathan Ross people who went through all sorts of hoops getting me to agree to them showing it on TV. I did, but they didn’t use it in the end.
I like the wording of the ad, though. Directly below the pic it explains why he picked a Mac instead of a regular PC:
Jonathan Ross demands the best - designer suits, designer shirts, designer ties. so when he wanted a PC, it is hardly surprising he chose the Macintosh SE because, like Jonathan, it is stylish to look at, very, very productive and extremely versatile.

Dude, how EIGHTIES is that? have just shown it to the crew here at PCF, who promptly guffawed themselves in half.
Good work. Excellent Jupitus name drop, too. I almost didn’t notice.
