196198 2003-12-07 11:18:00 Just an aside...

Some companies especially airlines and banks are constantly getting fined by the commerce commision for misleading staements in their ads.

However when that happens they just change the ad's, with the average consumer being non the wiser. The only reason I found out about it is that there was a article in Consumer magazine.

I think a better deterant would be having to pay for a series of ads retracting your previous statement that rane for the same amount of time and in the same time slots as the original ad you got pulled up for.

As for the Farmers ad, they will have just reprinted material given to them by hyundai to use with ads...

196199 2003-12-07 18:22:00 Nice to see a retail chain offering a 64-bit system, that can run todays 32bit apps/os, to the market. It forces the hand of Intel/MS to hurry up with there offerings/ promises of 64-bit computing. And I'll be able to buy a P4 4gz for next to nothing next year he he. mark.p (383)
