- There is a good reason why CBM has turned to their userbase(FINALLY!). If a
- CBM marketing Rep goes up to New Media and says "Ahem, forget something?" The
- New Media Rep says, "Nope!" HOWEVER, if 5,000 letters and subscription
- cancellations come to NewMedia complaining about inadequate coverage of an
- excellent multimedia platform, it carries quite a bit more weight. Ergo, the
- best advertising CBM can to is word of mouth and drumming up flame mail to
- magazines that fail to cover the Amiga adequately.
