[Gedankenspiel]

My personal opinion is that Verizon's ad agency wanted to be hip and get some attention by using one of the more snazzy looking computers out there.

And why not show Mac OS X in their ads. It works great with OS X - got it working within mintutes like a charm. In fact the slow connection process under OS 9 was killing me and I was afraid all the benefits of DSL over dialup were eliminated through this long process. (By the way, I sped things up even more by getting a Belking Firewall that is also a DHCP server that is always on).

I know this forum is not about Verizon DSL but I have to say thato once I had it working it has been fast and reliable. No complaints here.
