Question

Fans discuss spotting a Windows 95 box next to Jerry's Mac computer in The Caddy episode, debating whether it was a continuity error or product placement.

I know that there has been a lengthy thread in this and many other newsgroups about the best computer, but I thought I'd have to bring this subject up once again to see if I can get a question answered.

The Question: Is it just my overactive imagination or did I actually see a Windows 95 box next to Jerry's Mac in one of the episodes? I know that with the new Macs this is possible (I'm a little skeptical though), but Jerry's was bought in the late '80's. Would someone prove me right or wrong please. Thanks Dale "][nkster" Crossley

Yes, in "The Caddy" there is a Windows 95 box. I think the set decorators were just trying to look current and forgot Jerry had a Mac. Oops.

So I was right! I just won a bet! Could it be that Mr. Microsoft, Bill Gates had gotten the box in as a promotional gig? Its not the first time that a product has been shown in the background Dale "][nkster" Crossley

crap made him feel better.

I caught on the episode "The Opposite" where Elaine's boss had a PC on his desk. I guess that was keeping in character for him. . .

I believe Jerry's original computer and most of his stuff were ripped off in an earlier episode, tho' I can't remember which one....
