I gotta say, page 14 was my favorite page. OK, 15 wasn’t too shabby either. Just ’cause it was so unexpected. Now I’ve gone and spoiled it, so please, don’t tell Andy, and do act surprised.
Andy knew the bar was high on this book and I gotta say, he, what’s that cliche again?, surpassed [...]

Cheaper? Are you kidding me?
MAC came up with a branding strategy years ago and stuck with it.
Microsoft has been flailing all over the place. From Seinfeld to “I’m a PC” to this???
