How about this idea. Say the magazine wants to review the software in a given area, image tools for example. The mag contacts Ben at BBS, Perry at ASDG, whoever at GVP, and any others that may be out there. They say you have x number of words to describe your product and tell folks why they should buy it instead of the other guy's. Then they run those articles, perhaps with a head-to-head comparison by a third party. Ideally, that third party article should be available to the program authors before writing theirs. I suppose that last might be difficult or impossible given the lead times involved in publishing. Jim
