cheaply produced.  Even the old ads never left a very good taste in my mouth. 
Advertizing gives a potential buyer thier initial impression about a company.
AI's advertizments being cheap and childish left me with a feeling that this
is a company run by adolescents on a small budget.  The photographs and
production standards as well as the layouts are so cheap looking that I
wonder if they even have the money to maintain a staff for customer support
and service.  I doubt it.  Thier latest spoof on AE is just as cheap and
childish as ever.  Also, the ads always show the heads of the company doing
something.  Seems to me that these guys are on some sort of ego trip.  I could
care less about the president of a company climbing a rock-face!!  I want to
see the product..not this jerk!

To be perfectly honest with you, I find that an internal HD for the //gs is a
limiting device.  Who cares if it's fast etc?  I certainly don't.  I would
much rather have an external drive, one that I can use with another computer
should the day or need arise.  Making a device that is GS specific limits the
usefullness of the product and I just couldn't see myself spending money for
"less" of a product.  Besides, I can build my own external SCSI drives for
alot less than these people are selling thier internals for..AI or AE!
