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!
