Funny Wildfire ad in France

Apr 05, 2005 5 Replies

Just back from a CAD/CAM trade show in Paris, where I cam upon an ad for Pro-Engineer that could lead to misinterpretation. Like most things, CAD programs cost more in Europe than they do in the states - The ad is displaying a price of EUR 6390 ($8300) for Pro/E Wildfire, and it shows a guy with his hair standing straight up and his eyes popping out! He's supposed to be astounded by the outrageously low price!



If anyone's interested I can post a copy somewhere - just gave me a chuckle!

The guy at the ptc site and this kind of reminds me of,...
