I thought it used to be at apple.com/thinkdifferent ? It's not there now. Has Apple given up on the crazy ones, become a corporate suit in bed with the RIAA etc? Or is it at a different address?

Or none of the above?

Same here, I have it bookmarked and it is not longer there, all I can find is http://www.apple.com/thinkdifferent/ad1.html that is really none.

Anyway I have the text:

I hope that is not the final version:

Fordward?

Songs that's never been....

They imagine They heal.

Guessing graze is meant to be gaze as well.

One minute critique of the ad.......

It does say 'a song that's never been written', which is correct enough.

One more, though: the incorrect usage of an acute accent as an apostrophe (it´s, they´re, instead of it's, they're) - one of my major pet peeves.

Probably not the official one.

i just bought a PM last thursday and i have to say, after being on a PC since september - i wondered if it was worth dropping 2 grand on this.

but reading that, it does appeal to me in way that makes my decision seem more solid. damn apple for their slick marketing.

for better or worse, i am a worm to them. i cant tell if apple really really cares about us the way some of us think... but the way they are different just has an appeal to me.

thx for starting this topic.
