Actually it's been too many years since I've picked up a Motor Trend, Road &
Track, Car & Driver, other car magazine to have read mention about
performance chips in there. And no, I don't watch television
advertisements. (I have a PVR setup in a PC attached to my TV which I use
to filter out commercials before I watch a show I've recorded. I don't
waste my time with live TV.) Infomercials are all so full of crap they
would make me vomit to watch. An automotive add-on product informercial
that comes to mind is for some useless looking piece of metal called "The
Turbinator". Classic example of the kind of automotive add-on product
nonsense advertising I think that you are alluding to. Performance chips
are nothing like that. I suggest you look up "performance chip" on the web
and (ignoring the obligatory specious or "wannabe" product sites) research
and brief yourself on what they are and why certain "niche market" consumers
can realistically benefit by installing one configured and tested for
his/her particular vehicle from a reputable manufacturer.

No disagreement with your point here, except that it really has no bearing
on what I actually said.
