Ken skims briefly across a cool idea:  How much would a bunch of tiny ads
cost?  A few 'tiny' ads could do "all of the above", with the owl as a
recurring theme; while not 'flip movies', those similar ads in similar spots
clearly grab the reader.  Too high-dollar?  OR, one full page ad could
easily be a collage of a bunch of tiny ads, in which several messages
(including some of the acid wit seen on HP3000-L) could be presented.  That
could give our targets (magazine editors, HP execs, other CxO's) more to
work with too.

Right on.

Again, let's see more sample ads (maybe even a series or collage of little
ones?)

Door#2 http://www.editcorp.com/wsj/kens-ad-1.html
Door#3 ???

I bet it would be reasonably easy to throw together hundreds of snippets
touching on the true pride we hold for this OS; mabe scatter them in the
background of WAKE UP!
