Re: "Hopefully, the PC magazines will step in and start doing honest reviews of all products (instead of just re-printing press releases)." Those of us who do such reviews for PC publications heartily agree. Part of the problem I run into with publishers is still the installed-base statistics. It puts a definite crimp on the amount of space they are willing to devote to CD-ROM products/publications/programs. Most have had/are having CD-ROM/multimedia specials. Most don't seem to want to give much space to CD-ROM on a regular basis yet. The problem is a plethora of CD-ROM products at the moment, but not a lot of readers who actually have them. That will change, but it will take another year or two. In addition to the several magazines already here (mostly expert-level) there are others planned that will devote adequate space to projects such as yours. And work such as mine. PS: How 'bout putting me on your company's press release list? Cheers!
