	I'm sure this bothered other people at the time -- if they
noticed it.
	Remember that great series of commercials about a month back. The
helicar on the napkin, run down the steps, scanned in, CADed, all sorts
of color graphics, a report to the board of directors, then an animated
helicar flying off into the distance.
	A few things bothered me about that commercial.

Minor gripes:
	1. The MacIIx, scanner, laserwriter, software, and CD ROM used in
that commercial cost over $20,000.
	2. From the TV commercial, you think the animation is occurring
in real time.  The fine print in the print ad admits it is just playing
off of a CD ROM. I was really dissapointed.

Major gripe:
	3. That helicar has no stabilizer.  There's no way it could fly.
And there's certainly no way it could execute that graceful turn into the
sunset.  In other words, it's a terrible idea.  A great visual
presentation, but all style and no substance.  But I suppose that
marketing types (nor Macintosh users ?) are not supposed to know anything
about aerodynamics. It ends with the sloga "the best way to make a great idea
fly."  The idea may fly, but that helicar never will.
