Re: IBM's "Magic Box" ad campaign

GREAT article and the bit about the London cab campaign was FANTASTIC - cabbies touting the AS/400 !!! Why in the WORLD wouldn't they want to do MORE stuff like that in the US when it has such an impressive "bang for the buck" ?

I understand to an extent what IBM is TRYING to do, but I TOTALLY agree on the other side that it continues to confuse and blur things and unfortunately in this business that leads to "other" non-IBM platforms...
