Hi there, I agree with Al, well done for just cracking on and doing it :-) In the MS adverts I notice that the people making the videos have included a little bit about themselves in it too. Perhaps it'd be a nice idea if some submissions could go along the line of..... "I am Ubuntu and I arrest criminals......." (for example showing a policeman with his laptop) "I am Ubuntu and I predict the weather......" (for example showing someone at a university using Ubuntu to run a research project) You get the general idea... I'm just a bit worried that saying I am <insert name here> and I am Ubuntu might get a bit repetitive. I think that people might be more interested in what people are/do than in what that person's name is. What do you think? Chris
