Well, correct. It was totally free - free giveaway with the magazine, free for every dealer. And it was a total nightmare too. The email problems I described in the previous issue already existed, and even though I asked for a monochrome GIF with the exact pixel size, I got all sort of things, true-color 100 times too high resolution graphics which looked awful when scaled down etc. No - I would not even consider doing it again if I could charge for it. Pity, I liked the idea when I started it, and I'd done it every year if it worked out OK - but after THIS experience - no, thanks, it was too disappointing. Jochen
