Perhaps the spokesman should be the lonely Maytag repairman.  Somehow I can't 
see the Friends crew fitting the bill..

Joe,

In a message dated 98-06-11 16:32:57 EDT, you write:

> didn't Alan Alda do a commercial for AS/400 when it first came out.  (or
>  maybe it was a magazine ad i saw (memory fading...))

Most of the rest of the M*A*S*H crew did, at the dawn of "departmental"
computing.  This is the kind of advertising I'd like to see IBM do again for
the AS/400, although I'd settle for something in a trade rag that "upper
management" reads as more "bang for the buck".  Forget "PC Magazine", "Byte"
and "ComputerWorld" -- give me something in "Forbes", "Fortune", or "The Wall
Street Journal"...

JMHO,
