Sorry, I didn't see the start of this thread, so if I am covering old ground,
excuse me.

I saw a great one last night.  I was watching a tape sent to us by the
Nordic Track people.  Imagine this: Executive type sitting at a beautiful
wooden desk in an office the size of my living room (wood shelving from floor
to ceiling, great view, etc.).  Your looking via a quarter view over the left
rear corner of the desk as the Exec. types a few keys on his Mac Plus (??,
must have spent all his money on the desk), then stands up and you see he is
dressed in his EXERCISE TOGS (yeah, right).  As he moves to his right (toward
the Nordic Track), the camera pans around the back of the desk and you see
that there are absolutely NO cables (power cords, anything) attached to the 
back of the Mac.  I can only assume that the Nordic Track is used to power
a Nicad charger and the batterys are then inserted into the Mac.

My .sig says it all.
