ok here's a challenge: without looking it up, what is this ad, which is featured on the sleeve for an Australian computer magazine's cover disc, for?

Composite, red-tinted image of sand dunes with the Great Sphinx of Giza, pyramids, and another large stone monument I don’t recognise. The Sphinx asks “What was the cost?” And the other monument replies “Wish we’d had Sapphire.” At the bottom it lists the website “www.sapphire.com.au”
