    Here's a ATT ad from 1993.

    I don't think its that big of a stretch to predict that the products you have in development will one day hit the market.

    Elaborate, please. Do you mean to say that none of the products they say would come out are out now? :confused:

    I interpreted it as: when he saw these commercials originally, he doubted whether or not these inventions would come to pass, but since they have, any future commercials touting future inventions are to be believed.

    Considering that AT&T didn't survive, the company that bought and uses the name now is SBC, I don't think their predictive powers were all that great.

    Wow, Dharma and Juwanna Man. I don't like commercials where people advertise things you can't actually buy. And wouldn't Robert Allen have just been laying off people right and left when that commercial came out? I didn't like the Siemens spots from a few years back, either: "you can't have that without this-or-this-or-this."
