re: Truck ad for K6-2 Wow, just took a look at that ad, and I'm pretty convinced I've never seen a worse commercial. It must be last year's also? I'm not into trains and trucks crashing into stuff before I get something done. But that wasn't what was so bad. I didn't even get it -- what in the world was the point? How long can a truck crash? I'll give someone the benefit of the doubt and assume part of my lack of understanding was the microscopic screensize I was forced to use from Holliday Advertising's site. And I'm sure I already wrapped up the point above (i.e. get it done quick under pressure). But still, if THAT (truck or train, your choice) is the best that AMD can come up with to convince people they have the brainpower to make the best processor in the world, I'm inclined to reduce my exposure a tad, if you get my drift. Thankfully they don't NEED to convince people at the moment... but that will change. It is only a matter of time. JP

> JC, maybe Toni will listen to you. Why don't you zip her an email regarding advertising. See what she says. Tell her > exactly what you stated here. What, so I can get a "We can't say anything, but we may or may not consider having some sort of advertisement plan within the life span of the AMD Athlon core" style response? Toni seems a great gal, but she is powerless when she is constricted by her superiors. > ps - tell her to get a new agency too, their creative sucks. If you want to see the "truck" creative, go here and click on > AMD I recall the Truck commercial. And the Secret Agent commercial. They both kicked ass. Especially when the Secret Agent pushed aside those Intel-fab-suited guys. Very clever, and the two commercials in general brought the point home while being interesting to a typical random viewer. That's what AMD needs. The 2000 product plan with the 1997 marketing plan. -JC
