Now I've got to find a way to save those "movies" onto my computer. I've seen some IE plugins on the Microsoft webiste that will supposedly do the trick, but there's a dollar figure attached.

Does anyone know a FREE way to pluck those videos off the internet?

I don't have the issue with me but the lastest issue of PCWorld explains how to download internet videos and save to your hard drive. I recall there is a free version and one or two you can pay for. I think there is a program called YouTubeX if I recall correctly. Anyway the programs do exist.

Thanks for the tip on the SaveTube site.

FYI I couldn't get it to work with Firefox, only Internet Exploder.

FedEx has put out some outstanding commercials. The FedEx Fast Talker ones were amongst the best.
The post office made FedEx pull the commercial that showed indifferent postal workers ignoring customers while they BSed. Fred Smith loved the commercial but gave in to their whining; I've tried to find that one on YouTube but no luck.

In the old FedEx training (The Falcon) building, directly under the hanging Falcon, they used to have a few kiosk stations with TV's and a recording of ALL the old FedEx commercials. Whether they're still there or not, I don't know. But if you happen to find yourself in that building, and those oldies are still there, take a half hour, find a chair, and prepare to laugh your a** off. They are still the best. They were very innovative back then and have stood the test of time. Today, even UPS has adapted some humor in their commercials. My personal favorites are the ones where they had invited back all the participants, from all the commercials previously done, together as a group. Very funny.
