I dunno - the guy doing telecom at a workplace maintained he would not use Sprint for longdistance as long as Candace Bergman was doing those goddamn ads. And said as much to the salesweasal - just refused to even consider them. The salesweasal sent him a fax of Sprint announcing they were stopping using her... Of course, they kept showing those fucking ads for over a year after that. Are they still on? PVRs mean never watching ads... -cdr -- Chris Rovers "The only cure for boredom is curiosity.
