Assuming HP’s website is kept up-to-date, [these](http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/hpads/2002/tv.html) would be their latest US commercials. I don’t know if the same ones are shown in Canada or not.

Oh, if I am correct in guessing the commercial you’re looking for, the background music is _Perpetuum Mobile_ by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, from their album _Signs of Life_

Off topic, but what are these ads selling anyway? Are they competing with IBM in the arena to provide “corporate solutions”? Whatever does this entail anyway? Hardware? Service? Consulting?

Yeh I think that they are offering or promoting something along those lines, a ‘service’ which would improve your business. Now what that service is exactly, i dont know 😛
