Sellam,
It is ad for the Mini-Cooper automobile. Starting at the left is a picture
of the MDS tape system (or similar - just a single tape reel) with clunky
keyboard that evolves into a big clunky PC that evolves into a luggable that
evolves into a laptop. I looked but couldn't find a copy on the miniusa.com
web site.
It was interesting to see a a key-to-tape system 1) actually used in a print
ad, and 2) to appear during the discussion on ClassicCmp. I'll try and scan
tomorrow.
Cheers,
Lee Courtney
