>> How can you say that AutoDesk does not get fair treatment from CGW << I do not know if fair is the right word. I am just saying that money talks: Issue Mention of Autodesk Autodesk Ads —————————————————————- CGW V17 N1 Model Shop w/3DS Full Page Ad 3DS p. 31 CGW V17 N2 Model Shop w/3DS Full Page Ad 3DS p. 37 CGW V17 N3 Favorable p. 40-42, 71 Full Page Ad 3DS p. 50 CGW V17 N4 Favorable p. 45 Full Page Ad 3DS p. 73 CGW V17 N5 Model Shop w/3DS Full Page Ad 3DS p. S7 CGW V17 N6 Favorable p. 26-28 Full Page Ad 3DS p. 73 CGW V17 N8 Favorable Cover, p. 36 Full Page Ad AU p. 71 —————————————————————- It would seem from my simplistic research that I can draw few conclusions about advertising affecting editorials or vice versa since there is favorable mention of 3DS in nearly every issue of CGW, and likewise Autodesk has a full page ad in every issue. It would also seem that both of my points in #122110 are specifically incorrect, but the basic premise that money talks is still correct. One _might_ conclude that because Autodesk spends a full page ad with CGW, CGW gives Autodesk favorable press. It is also possible that we may be seeing the effect of product envy from those who spend huge amounts on overpriced software and hardware. What do you think about the low-rez image on CGW V17 N8 p.26 and the comments on the same page located under the spaceship image? Do you find bias in these items? — James — MAP —
