[ale] IBM linux e-server comercial.

[Geoffrey]

Don't you read the archives. :)  I caught this same commercial on a 
prime channel (abc,cbs,nbc,fox..) a while back.  Hit me the same way.  I 
couldn't believe it.  I don't recall which network it was, as I watch 
very little tv as it is.  I've not seen it since though.  I'm glad to 
hear it's still playing somewhere...  (what the hell is foodtv channel??)
