If you were CEO/PRESIDENT/GOD at CBM which would you do, spend 14 million on advertising, or spend part of that money on getting ALL the 1.4-type goodies out before Christmas? Would that be possible? Is this a moot issue? -Evan _______________________________________________________________________________ | Evan Jay Mitchell EECS/ERL Industrial Liaison Program | | mitchell@janus.berkeley.edu University of California at Berkeley | | Phone: (415) 643-6687 | | "Think, it ain't illegal...yet!" - George Clinton | |_____________________________________________________________________________|

Would that be possible? Is this a moot issue? The only way to do it is advertise. Putting that money into 1.4 development (a) wouldn't help and (b) wouldn't provide the return that advertising will. -- First comes the logo: C H E C K P O I N T T E C H N O L O G I E S / / \\ / / Then, the disclaimer: All expressed opinions are, indeed, opinions. \ / o Now for the witty part: I'm pink, therefore, I'm spam! \/
