ellen feiss

     

Ellen Feiss (born circa 1987) became an Internet phenomenon after her 2002 Errol Morris-irected television commercial for Apple Computer's Switch campaign grew into a cult hit. In the commercial, the then-14-year-oldAmerican high school student complained that her father's Windows PC had broken. The incident she describes in the commercial is presumably an operating system crash which prevented the keyboard buffer from being read, causing it to fill up. The BIOS on personal computers will often cause the motherboard's speaker to beep with every keystroke when the keyboard buffer is full.
