Don Was in an Advertisment

September 23, 2005 7:45 AM

I'm searching online for an old magazine ad featuring the musician Don Was sitting on a porch using his computer. I'd guess the ad is approx 8 years old. Google's not helping. Any ideas?

What company was featured in the ad? That could help narrow it down (maybe).

Response by poster: I think it might have been Compaq.

Response by poster: Yes, that's it. For some reason that little ad had a big effect on me. The message (that I totally got) was - "Making a living using a computer might be cool."

I remember that ad as well and the message also got to me (i.e. what a great job this guy has!). I thought it was an ad for music software though.
