Nice.

The one that stuck in my head (I think I first saw it here) is:

    Rockwell calculators,
    Gee, they're really neat.
    They have big green numbers,
    And little rubber feet.

I've heard that the ad was the product of Dick Orkin,
better known as Chickenman.  (He's everywhere, he's everywhere!)
