Oh yes! Within minutes of it being aired, I had already downloaded the full res version of it!

Dolores Hill and her husband Rik (fellow CSS team mate) and Greg Hupe' were all at our place for the Superbowl. We all thought it was a scream!

I complained that I didn't have all these people, including all those nerdy babes at the telescope when I picked up TC3 and my fiance' complained I've never let her ride the telescope like the one female researcher...

Yes Anne, that commercial wasn't very realistic at all!
