"...they just moved me to Australia!"I'm not kidding. The other day Mum and I were watching TV, and this Dell ad came on. A guy who looked to be about 19 or 20 was on the TV, standing near the Sydney Harbour Bridge, talking about the Dimension 2350. Then he said, "Dude, you gotta get a Dell." Coincidence? Or is this really the Dell Dude? -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

Checkout the Dell dude's site.If "Steven" was in your Aussie ad then they have indeed moved the Dell Dude Down Under. Time to throw another American cultural icon on the barbie.... Cheers, G4From128k by Day: Mild-Mannered Engineer and Trapeze(tm) Artist

Dell has phased out the Dude here in the US of A. You guys get our left-overs (left-unders?).  /Mr Lynn The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn’t have a space program.

 but I came up with it!!!!
here in the U.S. Dell has this group of 4 "dell interns"it's like... the trials and tribulations of the dell dude's biggest fans actually... .they try to say "because dell has award winning support and can give you the PC you need and the price you want" and junk like that all the time today... there was a commercial where the interns watched a guy take the order, then another guy build and then the guy who shipped the PC for "S. Andrews" or something...
we move to a shot of the dell dude's house
he and an annoying little brother
the brother: "Dude, we're getting another dell!" :shudders:
if my brother stood under me at our door whilst saying "dude, we're getting another apple" I would probably hurt someone... Official 68k videographer |
