I remember a string of ads for minicomputer Fortran compilers, placed in Computerworld circa 1970. One manufacturer (might have been Data General) proudly stated that their compiler was "a pig", featuring long compile times but turning out compact object code. Another manufacturer posted its own ad: "Our tiger eats pigs".
A glass teletype ad was captioned "Tough TTY". Hee! Couldn't get away with that these days.
