Hi Tony

Cabin fever day for me-waiting and hoping for Spring to come to upstate NY.

I wonder if Intel's marketing department thought about the connection of P"III" and the "third" millennium? This seems like it could be great fodder for a commercial next Christmas (and the one after that too for the precise details type people).

How about this...voice-over says "in the first millennium humans invented writing" and we flash to an Egyptian or Mesopotamian with a chisel and block of stone with the numeral 1 carved out...

Then voice says "in the second millennium humans invented printing" and we flash to a recreated Guttenburg press that is opened up to reveal the numeral 2 on the paper...

Then voice says "in the third millennium humans invented the networked world" and we flash to different homes around the world where all different kinds of people are busy with their Pentium III computers!

Gosh, I think I missed my calling-should have gone to Madison Ave.

Andy
