That John Major now, I ask you squire – what he needs is an AS/400 – right up his AS if you ask me…Computergram doesn’t have any promotional budget, but we’ve often dreamed of having a few London Black Cab doors painted yellow and black with the Computergram logo – it only cost UKP250 a year last time we asked a cabbie, but the eagle-eyed will know that IBM UK Ltd has gone a few better and painted 14 cabs with swirling colours all over to advertise the AS/400 – and not content with that, it has tried to ensure that when you ride one of them, you get a better class of ear-bashing: the company fills the back shelves with brochures, and has trained the drivers to deliver a chirpy sales pitch for the thing.
