Now that I like! It has the vauge memory of the Sid campaign, which
isn't recent enough for anyone to call it copy-cat, but is ingrained
enough to call it a homage :)
Shame Bill doesn't have the same status at Microsoft that he once did.
I guess "Don't Tell Steve [Jobs|Ballmer]" isn't going to ring any
bells with the public though so I can see why you went with Bill.
