70's Again!

I'm sure a lot of you have been seeing our somewhat large print ad campaigns over the past few months with consecutive right reading pages in magazines such as MSDN, SD Times, Visual Studio Magazine, asp.netPRO, Visual Studio Journal and CoDe Magazine. 

With the upcoming ad campaign we are remembering the 70's for all of you that are still saying - Groovy, Right On, Dy-no-mite, Smokin' Hot, Hubba Hubba & Give Me Some Skin.  Whenever I hear these words I find it funny to know many of us still use them to emphasize a point.   For those of you who are not old enough to rember the 70's and don't have any idea what I'm talking about...you missed some interesting sayings and discriptive words. 

Those of you who don't read the magazines mentioned above, here are smaller versions of the ads that will run in the upcoming issues.

if these are finalized yet, a suggestion: "Dyn-O-Mite" rather than "Dy-No-Mite". The subtle NO in the middle is a marketing no-no (pun intended) and the word reads the same. just a thought, and i would charge much for my professional evaluation in the matter.

I am no marketing guy, but "May the force be with you...", "Far out man" and "sit on it" all sound good. Well... maybe not sit on it!!! hahaha LOL
