[Air-l] identity theft ads

[Shoshana Magnet]

Hi,

Sorry, I should have clarified.  Not that grandmothers don't love 
technological devices - just that the ads were trying to market pairs of 
what they construct as binary opposites.  My great aunt has an ipod - so I 
know what you mean :)

Thanks to all for your helpful responses.  I'm still searching the old print 
ads, so far no luck!
