A long time ago, in a retail landscape far, far away, we had this crazy idea for a Super Bowl spot.
The premise: We blew all the budget on the airtime, and left absolutely zilch for producing the commercial itself. That first part was absolutely accurate: Even though this spot only ran on the local FOX affiliate here in southern Oregon (KMVU FOX 26), it still cost…, well, it cost a lot. Like, budget-breaking, spreadsheet-crippling a lot.
But we wanted to give it a go, and arranged for a video shoot with a game FOX 26 crew. We shot it in our stockroom, throwing dead computer peripherals from a stepladder, and pulled in unwitting staff members as extras. The on-air “talent” was Connecting Point GM Jeff Thomas and Marketing Director Tom Pentland. The whole thing took roughly 15 minutes to shoot (at the most). During editing, the bilious fluorescent green and pink graphics were reluctantly added by some very skeptical pros in the FOX 26 video production department.
The result? What has to be one of the crappiest, ugliest, most unprofessional Super Bowl spots ever. It aired during the Big Game – Super Bowl XXXVI, in which the New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17 – on February 3rd, 2002. You’re welcome!
On the eve of the Super Bowl’s 50th anniversary, we thought it might be fun to revisit an earlier, more innocent time. Also, it serves as a sort of nostalgic snapshot of vintage computer gear, including the original “bubble back” iMacs. Enjoy.
It’s April Fool’s Day, but believe us, this is no prank…
We can dramatically boost the speed of your laptop or desktop by upgrading its hard drive to a Solid State Drive (SSD). The advantages are many: SSDs are faster, and because there are no moving parts, they’re more rugged and reliable, as well. They draw less power, which means the battery in your laptop will last longer. They’re cool, quiet, and lightweight, and work equally well in Macs or Windows PCs. Plus, prices on SSDs have plummeted, making this upgrade more affordable than you ever thought possible.
PROMOTIONAL PRICES:
120GB $249.99
250GB $319.99
500GB $399.99
Prices include the drive itself, installation, and “cloning” the data from your old drive to the SSD. TO SAVE EVEN MORE: “Like” our Bend Facebook page or our Medford Facebook page, and/or follow us on Twitter, and you’ll receive a 10% discount off these prices!
This offer runs from Wednesday, April 1st to Tuesday, April 7th, 2015. Please note our prices do not include additional hardware that may be required for installation (i.e., brackets, adapters, etc.). Also, your original drive must be functional; prices do not include data recovery, diagnostic fees, or additional repairs. And to take advantage of our social media discount, please be prepared to show us you’ve “liked” or “followed” us.
We’re getting LOTS of calls at both our Bend and Medford stores, asking what we’ve got cooking for Black Friday. Unfortunately, you would need a Double Secret Probation Top Level One Security Clearance for us to tell you. We can say this: You’ll find all the details in the Thanksgiving Day editions of the Bend Bulletin and the Medford Mail Tribune. We’ll be posting it on our website, and on Facebook. And it’s going to be HOT.
But there will be additional promotions, in the form of contests, giveaways, special deals, and more that won’t be in the ads. In order to hear about them, you’ll need to keep your eyes on either the Connecting Point (Bend, OR) or the Connecting Point (Medford, OR) Facebook page (pick the one closest to you). We’ll also be posting the same info to our Twitter feed. Giveaways and special deals will require you to be present in person, but we promise to give you plenty (20-30 minutes) of advance warning before each one. Follow us…to save and WIN!
