On page 15 there's an ad for NeXT (good ad, might like to see that video tape). In the ad, there's a picture of a Mono NeXTStation. However, if you look real close, you'll notice that the keyboard is an *old* keyboard. A nice one with all the keys where they belong, and no pictures on the shift/delete keys. Are they switching back? (Sorry about changing the title, but ad is spelled ad, not Add as in Subtract) Chris Osborn osborn@athena.ecs.csus.edu

It's got a series of scenes flashing by pretty quickly of a guy using a NeXT and writing some kind of (praising) review of the TDK tapes supposedly for Audio magazine. The scenes flash by pretty quickly so you might have to tape it and single step through the commercial :) Alvin Jee alvin@cse.ucsc.edu

If you single-step through a tape of it, you can see Webster, I believe, on the icon bar. Most of the ad is just type displaying on a MegaPixel display.

I couldn't believe it ... last night, I saw this ad again, but this time it was the extended version :) -- This time it starts off with an oblique camera angle view of an entire NeXT!!!!!!!!!! Again, It was during Saturday Night Live later .... Joel Belog
