What rock have you been hiding under? My guess is you've tuned your
mind to ignore Apple advertising. It's most certainly out there!
No computer was ever pushed so hard on national televition as the iMac,
and they keep pushing it every time a new model comes out. Print media
is littered with their adds, in national newspapers and magazines.
Certianly much wider advertising than any trade rags you read, but even
those have had Apple ads in Canada.
