5251.0. "Digital = Dilbert ;-)" by LABC::HA () Mon Apr 21 1997 16:21

    Kudos to whoever got an ad placed on the Dilbert home page - it
    highlights our role with the Boston Marathon!  Terrific teaser ad on
    the Dilbert page and a clever web page.

Well, that would be http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/ but I didn't
spot it there.  (I did get some images that didn't load.)  Where on the page
is the ad?

It's labeled "Boston overun with race of superhumans"
It's also on http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/
labeled "its big" picture of a sneaker that gets bigger.
click in it on either page and it goes to 
http://www.ads.digital.com/ncaa/marathon.html

where there is a nice ad about Digital's part in the 
Boston Marathon. There is also a place to click to get
to the results of the race.

Scott Adams referred to us in an interview in yesterday's Globe.

>A. Yeah, they're shrinking already. Big
>companies like Digital Equipment, they call
>it ``densification.'' They'll just keep
>getting smaller until they have what I call
>the Head Cubicle. It will fit down over
>your head like a hairdresser's thing.
>You'll have a computer built into the base
>of the chair and swing the keyboard over
>your lap.
5251.6QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centThu May 29 1997 16:245
Yes, but I figured that he knew he was talking to a Boston reporter and used
a "local" company.  Densification is industry-wide, though I am not sure if
the term is as widespread.

I heard him use the Digital/Densification example on a Dallas radio station.
Digital is not exactly a household word here.

I also heard it on an Ohio station, it was on a PBS nation
wide program.
