I was just quoted $38,000.00 for ONE run of a full-page ad. ick! do we have 380 people who all want to invest $100? to be cynical ... this is exactly why M$ gets the business :-P i'm a little skeptical about the review idea, probably simply because i don't know the temperment of the editors of that particular magazine. (how brainwashed by M$ are they?) how does a review work? does the group wanting the review set up a system and then the editor sits down and "reviews" it (whatever that adds up to)? or do we send them a CDrom and wait to hear back from them after they have learned to install/configure unix? my only fear in asking for a review is that they might have a total unix hater review it, which would yield a negative review, and undermine the whole reason for this discussion. i suppose, given that $38000 price tag, we're going to have to look at the review option. how does that happen, and how can we help it along? -wil -- /\ William "tree" Birch (WAB) KA1MBE [BSD/Jeep] tree@lyte.org _/\ /#_\ o /\ _ /\ /\_/\_/ \_ #/##\/\__ /\ /\ /\/\ /\ /\__/\/\_ __/ #\_/ \/ #\_/ #/ ### / \ \ #/\/#/##\\/##\##\/##\#\_//#\###/#/\###\_/###/\\####/#\#\##/##/#\##-###\ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
