I don't know what IBM's normal procedure is, but when the Instruments 9000
came out I saw many forms of advertisments.  I received an invitation to
a free seminar (including lunch) about the machine (direct mail), and I
saw ads in magazines.  Granted, there weren't any TV commercials during
the Super-Bowl about it, but then it wasn't intended for the mass home
consumer market.  I do remember considering it for home use, and some
people I worked with were *very* impressed with its data-collection
and process control abilities.
