I simply wish I could find the "Momentum Mac" video. It's not an ad, but rather a promotional video I'v _only_ ever seen on the "Multimedia CD" that was added with the original Apple CD-ROM drive as well as probably some of the early CD-ROM equipped Mac models. If _anybody_ has that CD or that movie, I'd REALLY appreciate it in some or other form. My previous calls for this never yielded a result, sadly, and it's nowhere to be found on the internet, it seems. Me sad. :/

Does anyone remember the infommercial Apple had made for their Performa Macs? Oh man, I used to love watching them to get a good chuckle. At the time, I actually did own a Performa 6220CD...never realized how much of a dog that system was until much later. But it did the job for me at the time.

What was shown in those infomercials? Maybe it was the same one I meant?

I don't think so. They were all about this cheesy family with their Performa. All I really remember was that the father liked using the phrase "the proof is in the pudding". And it was cheesy.

Cheesy as it was, at least Apple advertised back then!
