dishonest advertising...

Lest anyone think I'm just down on Bose, there's plenty of other dishonestadvertising out there.The recent Apple Macintosh ads were filled with half-truths and outrightlies. Rather than try to _explain_ why the Mac is superior to Windows (Idon't want to get into that argument -- though the Mac has legitimateadvantages, Windows-based computers are, overall, superior), we're treatedto cutesy, simple-minded sound-bite misrepresentations.About 10 years ago Kodak ran TV ads for their new color films that wereoutright lies. And doing some research on early Kodaks, I found thefollowing statement about the original Kodak:"The Kodak will photograph anything, still or moving, indoors or out."Slow lens, slow film, slow shutter, no flash. Not likely.
