“This is a real ad. Well, it was real, but it wasn’t to the general public. It was for an industry magazine. If I remember right, it was called ‘The Yellow Jaundice’. I think it was a ‘trade journal’ that dealt with sunday newspaper supplements. Anyway, every April they would make a ‘spoof’ ad. They did one with three guys standing at urinals, and one had a PC (pocket computer in those days). The ad read “The PeeWee computer that goes where you pee”, or something like that. When some people at Tandy saw it, they said if you’re going to poke fun at us, at least make it a good one. The magazine responded with “Ok, YOU do one next year”, and the ad was what was actually published in the magazine.

Tandy actually got coupons from the ad back!

If I remember right, one of the guys in the ad was Sal Greski (sp?)”
