I think I remember that one too -- it definitely came after the Apple ad.

Something in the recesses of my memory makes me think it may have been
in the September 1977 Scientific American Special Issue On
Microelectronics (where I first learned about Smalltalk and Cray
computers too!  a most amazing issue!)

If not it most likely would have been in some issue of SA -- Apple
advertised frequently in that magazine back in the early days.

I think I still have a copy of it somewhere around here, but it's
probably still in a box and may still be in the garage....  :-(
