RE: And with the i5 - we have a TV Commercial !

Not impressed????   IBM is actually going to advertise the machine!  At long
last it appears they may be willing to make a market for it and not keep it
in the shadows.  Hallelujah is all I can say.  Let's not look a gift horse
in the mouth.

 |  That has to be one of the most uninformative TV ads out 
 |  there, and is right in-line with the pharmaceutical ads 
 |  where you're told 'product X' could be right for you, 
 |  however you're not told specifically what - things are 
 |  alluded to, but nothing specific is mentioned - 'product X' 
 |  actually addresses.
 |  
 |  The only thing the ad was missing, to keep in this theme, 
 |  was the final tag line of; "Ask your IBM salesman if 
 |  eServer i5 is right for you."
 |  
 |  Not impressed.
