i5 TV ad

Whatever became of the TV advertisements IBM was testing out? I haven't seen any ads around here (Fla.). Anyone see any in their area? Tom D.

well, I was really impressed with them showing the AS/400 and some dude twirling around on a merry go round going, "wheeeee, the iSeries is so easy. wheeeee!" Yes, I rushed right here to express my admiration as soon as I saw it. I would have shaken the IBM marketing people's hands if I had the chance. I just knew that AS/400 sales would skyrocket after that, along with my programming opportunities. It must have happened somewhere else, though. rd
