It seems the "Apple Superbowl ad" has gone the way of Steve Jobs.

According to the December 2, 1985, ADVERTISING AGE, Apple is one
of several advertisers that have decided not to advertise again
in the upcoming Superbowl.  ComputerLand and Cullinet are two
other computer companies that advertised last year, but dropped
out this time.  IBM, which bought three thirty second spots last
year, will have only one.  Ad rates are up from $1 million to
$1.1 million for a one minute ad.

They didn't say whether Next, Inc., would be advertising.-)
