I bet 80 out of 100 persons I ask on the street haven't heard of CD-I or CDTV. There are no TV or print ads for CD-I (well I haven't see any). > >"Start that word of mouth campaign early!" > >A CLASSIC quote of stupidity. > >CBM-Bashing is the only way youre going to get direct change. But not on the net, write in a letter if you want change. Bashing CBM on a bbs, or on usenet isn't going to change CBM's advertising policy. CBM engineers read these groups, but CBM marketing doesn't. I think many well written letters to CBM marketing will produce more of an effect than whining on the net. >\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ >Flicker turns me on. -BJP | Get back into the SeX PiSToLs if you program in >Arctangent, Naperville IL. | C.
