I found a few specific ads that are what I was looking for, but as I
mentioned in my comment, it would be great to know at least the year,
or preferably the month and year in which the ads ran. (It turns out
that finding the dates is much more important than previously
anticipated). Would it be possible to see if you might be able to
figure this out? Thanks!
Here are the links to the specific ads:

Hello again smc968,
I did additional research and discovered the following information for
the Apple ads you mentioned. I had to estimate the date of three ads
since I was not able to pinpoint the exact date.
==========================================================
The ?Making it easier? ad ran in 1992
http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/AppleMovies/mov/makingiteasier.html
Sources:
Microsoft runs its first television ads, themed "making it easier."
http://www.udayton.edu/~cps/cps560/notes/history/ss06.html
http://www.zisman.ca/Articles/1991-92/OCP_AppleAd.html
==========================================================
The Full Support ad ran in 1992
The end of the ad ends with ?the hard way or the easy way?
http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/AppleMovies/mov/fullsupport.html
Source:
?Aside from that one, I think my favorite Macintosh ad campaign was
one that ran in 1992 -- a series of four-page magazine spreads that
read:
?If you?re looking for a computer that?s easy to use, there are
basically only two ways you can go. The hard way. The easy way.?
http://www.applelinks.com/mooresviews/real.shtml
==========================================================
The Nightmare before Christmas ad ran in 1994
http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/AppleMovies/mov/nightmarebeforexmas1.html
Title
Nightmare Before Christmas
Year
1994
Agency
BBDO West, L.A.
?On Christmas Eve, a couple tries to figure out the computer they
bought for the kids. It doesn't go well, and there are 27 callers
ahead of them on the help line. "Maybe we got the wrong installation
program," says he. "Maybe we got the wrong computer," says she. VO:
"If you're looking for a multimedia computer that actually works,
there's only one way to go." Apple Macintosh.?

http://www.adweek.com/aw/creative/best_spots_90s/90s_09.jsp
==========================================================
Crowd Control ad ran in 1995
?Get A Macintosh?
http://www.cupertino.de/pages/filme/mov_04/control.html
Source:
Apple's 1995 response to Windows 95. A clever commercial, with a nice
"Get a Macintosh" line at the end
http://www.redlightrunner.com/appleads.html
==========================================================
Power Revolution - 1993
This commercial ends with ?Introducing Powerbook?
http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/AppleMovies/mov/powerrevolution.html
In 1993 BBDO won the Grand Effie award for the Apple Computer
commercial ?PowerBook Introduction?.
http://www.effie.org/award_winners/top_winners.html
==========================================================
I can only estimate the date of the following ads.
The Mac versus Ordinary PC ad ends with:
?It does more It costs less It?s that simple?
http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/AppleMovies/mov/macvsordinarypc.html
The Disk swapping ad ends with:
?It does more It costs less It?s that simple?
http://www.cupertino.de/pages/filme/mov_13/disk.html
Prior to July 1994
It appears that this ad aired around or a bit before July 1994 because
there were a number of discussions about Mac?s ?It does more It costs
less It?s that simple? ads in that time frame.
July 7, 1994
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22It+does+more+It+costs+less%22+apple+commercial+OR+ad&hl=es&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=edkinssp.1125707191A%40eplrx7.es.dupont.com&rnum=1
August 3, 1994
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22It+does+more+It+costs+less%22+apple+commercial+OR+ad&hl=es&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=fred-030894081620%40unused164.dtint.com&rnum=3
==========================================================
The ?Which? ends with ?Power Macintosh? There were some numbers after
Power Macintosh which I couldn?t make out.
http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/AppleMovies/mov/which.html
The Power Macintosh 7100 was introduced in March 1994,
http://www.apple-history.com/noframes/body.php?page=gallery&model=7100

I hope this helps !
