If so, do you remember the music that went with it? I've heard it on the radio a couple of times, but have never caught the name of the artist or song... cheers...	stephen (9719)

The chic was in a dingy London flat receiving an email from her mum of a large photo of a Pohutukawa tree in flower which reminded her of growing up in Auckland as a little girl running on the beach. The computer in the ad was a G3 iMac. The chic prints out the photo piece by piece and sticks it up on the wall of her hovel (flat) while talking to her mum on the phone.	winmacguy (3367)

549620	2007-05-15 05:37:00	wow, great memory winmacguy! i guess since it was a G3 iMac you would tho huh :p thanks for the help guys I actually thought it was a great ad for a number of reasons aside from the iMac being used. I tend to be a bit of a computer spotter during ads or general TV programs. Macs are often used by companies for specific product placement although it was more the memories of my own flatting experiences in London that I remembered the ad. I do like the song itself as well. The other reason for remembering the ad is for the size of the photo that the girl prints out which is effectively a collage on the wall, which if anyone has ever tried to do it, you come up with the "image is bigger than the printable surface" therefore will not print error which would mean that she wouldn't have been able to do that from an email - as far as I know. :p	winmacguy (3367)

It's really good but there's no desktop app for Mac/Linux users unfortunately.	sal (67)
