Nathan,
Most computer companies are running braindead ads. Seriously, I find the Intel
ad where they show a *Pentium* playing a *CD-ROM* the absolute reference for
non-artificial stupidity. This is not possible given the dimensions of a
Pentium and those of a CD-ROM.
Fujitsu is claiming "the future is today". I can prove this is utter bullshit.
Microsoft is asking "Are you clever?" and "where do you want to go today?" and
it's none of their business.
