I agree. I think exposure is the most critical thing for any quality product. One must however choose the source of the exposure carefully lest the exposure become discounted as a ploy. I think Sears is a very good choice for such exposure in that it's a ready made, national chain that has experience in selling computers to the home market. Granted, the level of experience with any given platform will vary from store to store however, as sales improve so does the quality of information being given out (Osmosis:-)). Frankly, I'd like nothing better than to walk into a Sears and see a IIGS with its external speakers blasting out trick music while the screen dances with some game demo or the like! Seeing software and hardware being sold can hardly be called a bad thing. :-) BTW, Mark, Platinum Paint is hot. Y'all keep up the good work at Beagle! -- ******************************************************************************* * W.
