Show one of Peter's (lx.experimental, far-out) screenshots and Karsten's

Concept: "where can go today", or "where do you want to go tomorrow", techno-beat, high-speed MTV-style cuts, occasionally slowing to a few seconds of focus, each showing an IRL application Linux, from Google to iPaq to supercomputer to laptop to TuxPaint to Knoppix (hrm...) to shuttle flights...

There need be little overt M$-bashing, however utterly tempting that must be to All who have Suffered:

But a few brief intercuts with a big

X

..across:

a BSOD
a popular meaningless Error Message
a Logo for the BSA (with faint background image of a cop in boots, emptying a file drawer)
a copy of the New Pricing sheet?

Only a few of these.. just longer than subliminal-duration; for perspective, not case-making propagandizing:

the rest would be - showing a few seconds of GIMP? working and something thrashing numbers in a {ugh} spreadsheet - with all the bells & fl\ufffdgelhorns blaring, as he says. And across the various platforms mentioned. And.. people Smiling!

MTV attention-span level! Go with flow

There NEEDS to be more of this, artfully done - like that mondo Honda ad with the '03-Rube Goldberg parts rolling & flipping, and..

--> while the Worm-Iron is Hot, which is *NOW* IMhO.

Too much techno-palaver is the way it's always been. It's entirely convincing, but not to the droids who spend their IT funds in Daily Constant Fear of the next unanticipated expense item and forced upgrade and retraining. No?
