- Yeah, I kinda like the idea. But in order to maintain a certain conceptual
- continuity (hello, any Zappa fans out there? :) I think the software and the
- add should somehow be related.
- So a N.Y.Times add to come with the word processor,
- a dancing young lady, advertising colourful underwear for the
- animation-package,
- a small Madonna/Prince/.. video-clip for the sequencing software,
- etc, etc.
- Any more ideas on this conceptual continuity?

- OK, wasting bandwidth, I know... (what about the boring ST vs. Mac vs. PC
- threads - can't someone stop *them*? Arrrgghh...)
