I recall with the 95 launch, there was a huge media blitz on TV, billboards
etc... leading up to its launch.

Now, I have yet to see one TV commercial or a sign anywhere. Is MSFT waiting
till after launch to start everything?

Soon. Launch is still three weeks off.

The launch will be explosive... something like the destructive force of an
H-bomb.

What gives me the feeling that you will be looking at the deadly mushroom
and commenting:

"How beautiful"

True. I was just wondering whether I missed all the initial media stuff....
they just haven't started. I'm looking forward to seeing the first tv
commercial.
