Don't know which mag it was in, but it made an impression.

I recall that ad. I was in Jr. High and thought that was the neatest thing I had ever seen. I could not remember exactly what model it was but I remember the colorful macaw. If I recall properly, there was an older lady (the owner) standing next to the TV. I think it was either in Time or U. S. News or something like that. It was in a class where they had us read from magazines or periodicals for part of the class, must have been english or literature or something like that. I thought that I would like to have a set like that sometime and many years later, I do!
