TV commercial: While I think the Intel commercials are pretty good, I really think the latest Compaq commercial does an excellent job of advertising the Intel inside. It has a couple toasting their tax refund of $23 to a simulated fire on their Compaq laptop out on a balcony. While I know Intel reimburses for the ads and the jingle, this one seems to be a toss up as to what is being advertised Compaq or Intel. I enjoy the demonstration of what the MMX can do and I think the Intel ads fail to show the capabilities of their product. Seems Compaq did a better job advertising Intel MMX than Intel has so far jim
