Finally, Librex starts buying ad space. Pages 26-27 of the 11 June
1991 issue of PC Magazine are a full-color spread on the Librex
notebook computers ... with absolutely no information. It's a picture
of a guy sitting on a bluff watching an ocean sunset, with a Librex
notebook on his lap. Tag line: "Could it be that the fastest way to a
corner office is no office at all?" Shades of Infiniti and their
carless car commercials ("See this waterfall? Don't you feel good?")
About all we can see is that the notebook screen has colors (!) -- it's
the usual dark-blue on light-blue LCD screen, but with brown rectangles
in the bar chart that is displayed.
I called the listed number, (800) 248-4880, and asked whether this
machine really has a color screen. The operator explained that it
doesn't, and that the photograph shows brown colors because it's
reflecting the sunlight. (It's not -- it's facing directly away from
the sun, which in any event has already set -- but I let it pass.)
Oh well. She promised to send me literature.
