Anyone remember the "sexy" ads that were run in Personal Computing in the
early '80s?  As I remember it, the ad had a lady in enticing attire laying
on a bed of satin with a white TRS-80 on the bed with her.  The ad was for
some "adult" software.  Anybody know what this stuff was?  I thought about
ordering it at the time, but never got around to it....

I also recall that the ad only ran for a few issues before disappearing.
I wonder if the company did the same....
