Three exclamations points, and reduce the total time to the ad to 10 seconds (including download @ 56Kbps) Right now it takes 30 sec. Say what you want, keep it short and sweet. After all, we are not selling toliet paper or roll-on anti-perspirant. It's an OS. BTW, if you insist on such a long ad, maybe humor would work.... I.E. -- Works Great, Less Filling. - Old and reliable, not new and improved. - It Free, because people want to pay for things that suck. - If we made it any easier, we charge for it. - We no list on the stock exchange, so we don't need to charge for that. - This thing got loose from AT & T. We're not supposed to say that. :-) - More people use us, than Bill likes to admit. - If Microsoft owned us, they have a true monopoly. - It's Free. Money back gauranteed! Hope this help!
