Well, I saw the star studded one last night here in Boston.
First off, I think too much emphasis was placed on the stars
and not enough on the REAL star, the computer.  Although, the
screen shots were nice, you almost had to be sitting in
front of the TV to see what was going on.  I have to admit that
the demos were nice.  If anyone out there knows how they did that
space-station animation, please email me.  Having seen a
Tandy (blech) commercial earlier in the night, I noticed that Tandy
really shows you and tells you what the computer can do that's
different from the other PC-Clones.  I'm not sure that your
average PC or Mac literate user will believe that such nifty
graphics can be done on a machine that costs less.
But, hey, don't get me wrong.  I think the ad campaign is the
best thing to come along to help out.  Now if someone at CBM would
give me a student discount on a 2000... :-)
