Lets just say that the eyes started glazing over with the first “leukocytes” and never unglazed.

My eyes didn't glaze over but my ears did hurt a bit. :=)

The narration reminded me of a very old Rockwell spoof commercial. It was for their brand-new, highly cross-planarized, oscillating, self-resonant framistat or some such outlandish thing.

Reminds me of TI.

Great engineering, lousy marketing.

Never put an engineer in charge of commercials. Dry hardly begins to describe it.

Somewhere I have a Byte magazine ad spoof from the early 80s for a nuclear powered battery backup. Sounds much like the Rockwell ad.
