Hi Robert,
If thats the same ad we saw in Britain with the guy with a
pigeon on his head I certainly think the genius behind it
deserves reasonable payment for his workj -- a bullet in
the brain!!!
I can say I am staggered by how many guys in their late teens,
or twenties here in Britain are aware of minidisc-- even if they
havent bought into the format, and are well aware of its abilities.
They know about it but havent bought one.
I do agree though that a good ad by Sony could do wonders.
Memory-stick etc music storage? rubbish! Five years ago peeps
said hard disks would be dinosaurs and look what happenned!
17GB for about ukp120, good god go back 10 years and you'd
have been lucky to get 170MB for ukp120 !!!
Cheers,
