"And they always lie to us." Do they? You must be very paranoid if you think that is true.

That ad was based on a truth that there were two opposing views of computing 1) computers were there to control people and a workforce 2) computers are the servants of people.

IBM was there to control people. Silicon Valley took view 2, and this was the philosophy behind the Macintosh – it was no lie.

Even IBM's PC were still about controlling the office environment, and I still see that in Windows today.
