Hi folks,
   I have gotten great response from that ad and it now is overseas, so maybe the Brits will hear it.  While I certainly didn't invent the use of tron flute, it seems that that spot has caught other composer's ears.  The use of tron in general has turned up in many American adverts and the Cingular Wireless ad does pay homage to the Nasdaq ad, albeit very small homage.  The culture of commercial composition and commercials in general is one built on imitation.  I have been using my genuine Streetly rebuilt tron for years in ads and now it seems to be finally catching on.  In fact, my Nasdaq clients were especially keen on the use of tron flutes in their ad.
