- Today I heard an ad on the local all-news station about something that lets
- you run TV on a PC - "Now I can watch the Giants game on my PC!" Oh boy!
- So many multimedia marketeers seem to have the multihype and multisleaze on
- full-bore that it's no wonder multimedia has about as much credibility with
- people who actually pay money for things for real use as Congress.
-
- The next time I hear an ad sounding like: "It's Bob, Biff, and Dave down here
- at the multimedia center waiting to take your money for something useless! Oh
- Boy!" I will scream :-(
