In the midst of all this photo madness...
... I would just like to say (and I think a lot of you will agree) that one of the things I look forward to around this time of year is knowing that they will soon be filming the new A's commercials! God, how much do you miss seeing A's commercials? I tried to look for them on the site the other day, and I couldn't find them. I might still have them bookmarked somewhere.

Let's see what they come up with this year... I think it'll be even better! :)

	you know what, i've never even been able to watch one before. my computer won't load the videos and i don't live in the area to catch them on tv. nice, huh? if it's all the same, and i'm sure it's not, i've heard tons of interesting things about them. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Can you not play wmv clips at all, or does your comp just have trouble with streaming video? I ripped a few of them from the site last year for myself, if you'd like me to upload the wmv files somewhere for you to try downloading instead of streaming, just let me know.

	I would definitely be interested in downloading them. I can stream them, but it's usually blocky and not very good. How did you rip them? I want to download the 2004 ones too (the last ones with the big three... sigh...) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I used a program called Net Transport that I've had sitting on my comp for a few years now before I ever really figured out what I had downloaded it for :-P

Because I am a huge procrastinator, instead of reading for class I actually already downloaded all the 2005 and 2004 commercials and put them in zip files, just in case someone asked for them ^_~ Give me a few minutes to upload them somewhere, and I'll...post a new post to the comm, I guess? So if anyone else wants them they can grab them too.

i can never download them correctly because i connect at 26.4 ...every single time i'm online. it just doesn't happen. the streaming video quality at that speed is just total garbage. really over pixelized and painful to watch. i usually totally avoid large files because i'm aware of the aggravation they're gonna cause me lol

thanks for uploading those zip files, that was really sweet =) i've been trying to download them for a few hours now and keep getting a "too many users downloading right now. please try again later." i'll keep trying though. then i'll have the added fun of playing the waiting game to get them and praying my connection doesn't quit in the middle of transfer. bah, living in the middle of nowhere sucks.

	you sound like me. every single time i sit down to start writing a paper, i end up procrastinating and doing 500 other irrelevant things. i think that's how this community came about actually, when i was supposed to be writing a thesis last year lol (Reply to this)(Parent)

	here's the link for them, by the way. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ah, thanks! I do still have them bookmarked on my computer. For everyone, here are the 2004 commercials as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	laughs I definitely get a kick out of them. The 'Old Man Zito' ad from last year was priceless. (Reply to this)
