Thanks for your feedback on this and I would like to just clarify some points.

1. A slow internet connection will cause problems for people browsing our web page and forums. However out of our total hits to our website so far which is 2.2million, only 1.4% are using a dial up service. This indicates to me that the majority of our visitors wont be disadvantaged, because they are on ADSL or Cable.

2. Finally having a slow or old computer may limit your experience on any website, not just mysandman.com.au.
I have checked our visitor stats and all Windows users are running Windows 2000 or above, which indicate to me that most if not all visitors are able to view the pages without problems.

If you are having problems visiting the site I suggest upgrading your browser software and latest drivers for your computer.

Cheers.

Curator’s notes

This memorable advertising jingle from the 1970s was adapted from the American Chevrolet campaign, 'baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet’. To match the Australian lyrics, the advertisement features Australian cultural icons (the kangaroo, koala and meat pie) in a montage of quick shots. Although many of the icons flash by quickly, shots of Holdens driving and parked in a variety of locations are held longer so that, even without the explanatory jingle and voice-over, the images make clear that this is an ad for cars and not an Australian tourism campaign.

In addition, the ad depicts a laid-back and fun-loving Australia and the jingle aims to appeal to the audience’s sense of patriotism. If you don’t love football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars, you’re not truly Australian. Although targeting the mainstream, the ad actually describes one specific social sector and does not reflect the diversity of the nation at the time. Holden’s association with white working class Australia is particularly strong in ads like this featuring models such as the Kingswood, the Torana and the Monaro.
