On page B8 of Friday's issue of The Wall Street Journal, Hewlett Packard has a very large ad showing off a laptop and printer. The only problem is the screen shot on the laptop. You guessed it. It's a screen shot of Netscape running on Mac. The really funny part is at the bottom of the ad is the statement "HP PCs use genuine Microsoft Windows"... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />

    Maybe HP secretly desires to go through "the change."

    Maybe it's an inside joke with the Ad agency they used..

    actually that's really common. many/most advertising companies use macs, and incorporate them into their ads, even the PC ads.

    That surely isn't the first time it's happened.
