And if this Stevie Wonka rumor is even half true it's going to be one HELL of an advertising gimmick. How about Willy Wonka in a Think Different ad?!?! Ha ha ha! I can see it now, another "Here's to the crazy ones..." ad with a clip of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. If you've ever seen the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, you'll know what I mean. It's a classic, and I still think Gene Wilder deserved an Oscar nomination for the role. I still haven't been able to confirm if the Golden Ticket iMac story is true. It sounds suspiciously like that goofy story about a free Power Mac being given to owners of an original 128k Mac at a Macworld presentation just before the original Power Macs were released. It was well written, and almost believable at the time.
