Return with me now to those thrilling days of yesteryear

[livejournal.com profile] asphalteden jogged free a brief memory that hadn't surfaced for some time, so I thought I'd rescue it from the comments section of another entry and put it here, front and center.

I was a developer on WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS back in the early 90s, and I still can't forgive Microsoft for the fake ad they faxed us once that had a picture of Cary Grant running from a plane in North by Northwest and announced the "WP Developer Point-and-Shoot" program, whereby consumers could receive a free copy of Word by delivering a dead WordPerfect developer to Redmond, no questions asked. Okay, it was funny. But still.


UPDATE: Found it!
