You might try tracking down Terry Dowling, last at Adobe, and see if you 
can get a pointer to a copy.

What would really be nice are the spoof advertisements that they did, 
including the Infos ad (a spoof on the "Rinso" ads, with an arm holding 
a box labeled "Infos" coming out of a Zebra SMD drive) and the "Look for 
the DG label" parody (sung to the tune of "Look for the union label").
