Today I heard an ad on the local all-news station about something that lets
you run TV on a PC - "Now I can watch the Giants game on my PC!"  Oh boy!
So many multimedia marketeers seem to have the multihype and multisleaze on
full-bore that it's no wonder multimedia has about as much credibility with
people who actually pay money for things for real use as Congress.

The next time I hear an ad sounding like: "It's Bob, Biff, and Dave down here
at the multimedia center waiting to take your money for something useless!  Oh
Boy!" I will scream :-(
