That seems to me just the same as what Nick was saying, just he wants to tell people en mass :-) I kinda agree with both of you - I think getting exposure in design magazine will be neccessary and excellent for the free design desktop, but I think money can be better spent elsewhere. To me, advertising is paying a cash premium for yourself to write just what you want shown in someone else's publication, while PR is paying a little in time & effort towards persuation for a journalist to write what they like about you in their publication. So if you want to publish glowing 'Ready for the big time!' messages in a design magazine before this is really the case, advertising is the way to go. But when it is really the case, journalists won't need much persuation! :-) -- Regards, Dave
