That darn Intel jingle...

If the choice then comes down to Intel or AMD - where there's likely not a lot to choose between the two on average when all factors are taken into account - I find it interesting that I'd go for the AMD guys on the grounds that they have the less-irritating advertising. It just made me wonder if computing history has been littered with cases where the advertising might have swayed things (after all, there were probably a lot of 8-bit micros around once where it was difficult to make a choice between them. Or S100 systems. Or PC clones...) I guess it's only recently (relatively) that computer-related ads have been commonplace on mainstream TV though. In the olden days they would have been magazine ads and much easier to skip over if at all annoying! cheers Jules Maybe it's a new thing, though...
