Hell yeah, that was a great commercial. Very cool.

Interesting story behind that. Mattel advertised it and had a working prototype, but later decided not to make it.

When customers found out, they complained to the FTC that Mattel was committing fraud. The FTC then forced Mattel to sell the keyboard by mail order.

Yeah, I know about the keyboard. Jay Leno made some joke once:

The two big lies are:
1 - The check is in the mail, and
2 - The keyboard'll be out in April





Somewhere in this video, a guy's making fun of Atari's lack of creativity. During that part, he mentions TRON.

EDIT: That's at 5:36 in the video. Oh, btw, how do you like my new avatar? where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Nice avatar, TRON.dll, where'd you find it?

Oh, yes, and back on topic, I can't watch the vids right now, I'll do it later.

Nice video; it's been posted before on TS before. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy every time I see it.
