Sorry to ruin your ad idea, but at Cadnetix we have around 100 IBM PC's
running on our network with ethernet (sp?) cards and running NFS.  I'm not
saying that they are great machines, but they have much quicker access to
their own hard disks, and I have no idea how speed compares with NFS.

I like the ad with the Amiga user watching an Amiga ad on his screen.  One
twist would be to show the ad, and back away (showing that the ad was on the
Amiga's Screen), with the users boss telling him to get back to work, with
the user stating that he was doing a table calculation or something.
