RE: Ads (was Rows of NT vs 1 N-way)

["Jewel, Jerry" <jerry.jewel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe IBM ran print, TV, radio and billboard ads that featured most
of the TV cast for M*A*S*H, except  Alan Alda.  (I think, Alda had an
earlier contractual commitment with Atari.)  The ten year announcement
anniversary is 10 days away.

Regards,
Jerry Jewel
