Yah... I saw that one. A deaf person would like it. Unfortunetly, most of the viewing audiance can hear. The guy's voice made the machine sound like a toy... inflections in the wrong place, too forced and unnatural. Personally I think it hurt the machine more than it helped it. I dunno, but I have the feeling that somebody isn't *thinking* over there in the advertisement department. What they need are fewer bells and whistles, and more intelligence. -Matt (BTW this isn't directed to any CA personal on the net... I doubt any of the people responsible for the Commercial are on the net. Still.. pass it on if you can).
