Although he has backslid a bit (notably in his Science Friday TV interview), his commentary has become much more unbiased and indeed very positive where due. We also tried the editor of Network World, but even CD WITH book AND a personal appearance by yours truly at his pet trade show wasn't enough to get a mention from him. :( I did give dozens of CD's out to real corporate IT guys at my speech, though, so we gained ground! Still, though, the effort is worth pursuing and does produce results. Jordan IS there behind us in this. Make the initial comment and suggest a review copy. If you get even a nybble, Jordan will be there. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ _________ ___==__ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [dwilde1 @ ibm.net] [ = = ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo---oo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
