At this one particular computer I occasionally use, [link]http://gateway.yahoo.com/[/link] is set as the homepage for internet explorer. And every single time that page opens up, there's an ad at the top for DSL with a woman holding two cartoon space ships. The one she's holding in her left hand (our right) looks identical to a Spathi Eluder. Apparently someone in marketing likes Star Control.

Argh! It disappeared, just like that. I was holding off on bringing the ad up because I was worried this exact thing would happen. But at least one person besides me saw it.

Oh, how I tried. The picture shifted away to something else when I right-clicked on it to save it on my computer. And it wouldn't let me save anything at all, anyway. I wasn't much of a computer whiz, so I didn't know how else I would get it. Wait a sec, I'm going to check temporary internet files on my computer right now.

Spathi? What spathi? You're imagining, hunam.

How amusing. DSL or dial, and she seems to be holding both a rather clumsy looking rocketship, that I'm doubting is the epitome of speed in one hand, and a spathi eluder, which is the epitome of speed in the other.

No -- don't sue. Leverage the market exposure! Strike a deal with the DSL company.
