That's true. However, AmigaWorld, while having the largest distribution of any American mag, is also the least respected – it is short on substance, and they do a bad job across the board on reviews; I can name you many that are incredibly sorry. The thing is, Imagemaster has received positively rave reviews in a host of other mags, many of them european, and we are definitely seeing a large number of sales as a direct result of those reviews. If AW had done theirs responsibly, I'm sure we'd see more – but the facts are that we have definite responses from most reviews that we can point at. The only exception to that that I can think of was the NoteBook review in Compute, which was very, very good – well written, positive and something that you would think would drag customers in droves to the dealer… we saw virtually no response at all from that. I think it's because of the peculiar distribution and the hidden nature of the mag's Amiga support, but can't be certain. –Ben …via AutoPilot
