<<I don't think SGI paid anything for this.>> My dear Alexis, nothing is free. Especially in Hollywood. A very common way production houses make money these days is by cleverly disguising commercials in their films. Oh, you see that Hertz truck going by? How 'bout that can of Pepsi the star's drinking? Pretty subliminal stuff... when done properly that is. And worth big money for Hollywood! It's all very sickening. Go see a movie Friday night... next thing you it's Wednesday afternoon and you're standing at the Hertz counter drinking a can of Pepsi and you're not sure why. OK, maybe it's just me. But when I see it I cringe. Mathon p.s. Enough of this small talk, I want one of those SGI laptops!
