Jane, Any comparison between this video and real life is probably useless, on a number of points! <chuckle> The only nice thing it did was give those of us that knew nothing of the 3000 a preview of what the inside of the thing looked like, as well as a glimpse of 2.0. In short, it was a tiny help to those of us that are already interested in the short time that we couldn't see a 3000; to lure in new users, it was horrendous. The initial premise that the guy's computer with his work on it was just hauled off sets the whole thing off on the wrong (frightening!) tone. Attempting to show "multitasking" by just going around and enabling each of several static windows in turn was embarassing. (Maybe they couldn't find enough things that would multitask together under 2.0?) I'm not one of those people who complain about any advertising attempt made by CBM; the video made a lot of good points, but was heavily compromised by a stupid script. A shame. Maybe we should all don ski masks and set out to secretly destroy all those tapes! Karl
