Terry: Given that it's a February issue, this is probably a long-missed opportunity. Remember that the cover date of most publications is the date they go OFF the stands, not on; a "February" issue is customarily distributed in January. Also, most magazines have two to three months of editorial lead time. Smaller pubs tend to have longer lead times, because printing costs are lower when material is supplied to the printer farther in advance. --Brett At 04:49 PM 1/24/2000 , Terry Lambert wrote: >As an advocacy opportunity, Penton's "Embedded Systems Development" >is running as it's February cover feature an article on Linux. > >The Exact text provided is: > > COVER FEATURE: The Linux phenomenon is substantially > impacting the world of the enterprise.
