I suppose everyone else will have seen this, too, and hoot 'n' holler about it,
but I haven't seen them yet, so I'll say it.  While I was watching a basket-
ball game last night (part of our degree requirements here at Chapel Hill :-)
I saw a (bank?  BB&T?  I wasn't watching whatever the ad actually promoted)
commercial about a family giving their son a computer for his birthday.  The
first view is from behind, with Dad doing something with a 2-button mouse.  I
thought, "I know the back of that monitor!"  Yep, it was an Amiga.  You could
see the Amiga name on the monitor.  Well, I could.  You could if you saw it.
I hope this isn't one of the commercials that have been discussed so fervently
already here.  You'd discover I wasn't paying attention.

By the way, to Todd Carpenter, who answered my question about Sculpt3D, I lost
your address.  This is just to say glass texture wouldn't have done for the
object I was modelling, but it might for another one.  Thanks for the response.
