Excellent post that touches on many of the reasons people are becoming disenchanted with "Vista ME".Speaking of the thread topic. (Remember the thread topic?) I don't recall seeing any ads for Vista ME at all. No Rolling Stones singing "Start Me Up", no flying around while Madonna sings, ... What happened?

I don't think so, but perhaps I should clarify my point. Obviously, personal experience trumps well-meant messages, but that doesn't mean that nothing should ever be done that might help others.

Maybe now we'll start seeing some commercials for Apple's new version of OS X, "Leopard". Unfortunately they will probably be as hip and obscure as IBM's ads for OS/2 were. (See how I segued back to the thread topic?)

Not really. When my older brother was younger--as in kids age, he knew that smoking was bad. We were both bothered by the fact that one of my older, adult cousins smoked (at the time, doesn't anymore). Yet my brother grew up and now smokes. Did he forget? No. Does he wish he was dead? No. He just smokes. Why? I don't know.

What's a "commercial"?
Is that one of those things that pops up during a show I'm watching, in response to which I hit the mute button, and either see what's on another channel or get up and take care of some things? Eventually those annoyances go away and I get back to watching the show I'm interested in. Wait a minute, oh yeah, "commercials"! Those are the useless bits of uninteresting and often insulting baloney that I delete when editing a DVR recording. OK, now I know.

Eventually the guts will provide the answer.

Someone can say "smoking is bad" and still not really know, in their gut, the issues involved.
Except that many in Congress and some states are funding major programs (e.g. children's health care) by taxing only smokers. Ultimately, they'll need millions of new smokers to pay for these programs. As this YouTube satire video states, SCHIP: Care Enough to Smoke? Light up everyone, it's for the children! |
