Bob,

>>It says that the iMac appeals to a 2 1/2 year old girl. That is all. Try not to read too much into it. It is a good first step, but I would be more impressed if the ads appealed to ADULTS.

Any idea who that Go2Net! ad with the flying rocket-kid is designed to appeal to? Which ad do you think was more mature? Every ad is geared towards a 2 1/2 year-old as far as I can see. The whole purpose of working your ass off through adulthood is to buy the toys you wanted as a kid. The man who rushes out to get the latest greatest computer is nothing more than a kid in a candy-store with a roll of quarters. I'm as guilty sometimes as the rest and find ALL AMERICAN advertising insulting to the intelligence.

Cheers,

Norm
