I will omit the name of the firm which ran this ad, but the clever idea
is worthy of propagation:

		THE 
		    GUARANTEE:
	  find a computer system that can
	   match our performance and our
	potential for expansion, and we'll
	 raise our price to match theirs.

Actually, another Computerworld ad which pops up from time to time and is one
of my favorites has a headline, "Oh, the joys of being a DP professional".
Above the headline is a large photograph of a desk drawer filled with
analgesics, antacids, caffeine tablets, stress vitamins (a new addition in
the latest version of the ad), etc.  Perhaps I should add the vitamins to
my drawer....
