Uh, bloody mass market. Don't laugh. CM7000 had 3 AVIs (one intro, two of Josh) for a total of 23 megs. I, personally, didn't like the videos of Josh at all. As for the "anthems", the development team laughed when I told them that, because it was actually brought up in the brainstorming session this year! Of course, that doesn't mean that they're going to do it. The brainstorming session is just blue sky stuff -- let's get every idea we can think of out on the table.... Wish I could tell you more, but I don't want to get anybody's hopes (or fears) up. ;-) jm
