Has anyone seen the new compaq commercial?  It is a commercial about how the Internet (using Compaq computers) can help you with life.  It asks the question "What do you want?".  

One of the answers is a guy standing in front of a VW Bus who says "I want to fix it myself" while his wife has a look of "Oh no!".  Throughout the commercial you see the guy in front of the Bus with a wrench another scene is him fiddling with the wiper blades another is him on the internet asking the question "How do I fix my bus?" and more scenes of him with the Bus.  The commercial ends with the entire family pushing the Bus and the wife saying "I want a new car".

It played during the Today show Tuesday between 8:00-8:15 EST.  I was on the floor laughing for about five minutes.  

Take care,

Paul Borghese
