You might try looking around IBM's web site (www.ibm.com) -- they're on a
big e-commerce advertising blitz right now. One of their first major
public "spectacles" is the new Star Trek site with its online store, whose
grand opening coincided with the release of the new Star Trek movie this
past Friday. See www.startrek.com

They stand up and sing about, what it's like up there
They call it Paradise, I don't know why
You call someplace Paradise... kiss it goodbye...
