why some in CSMA and some in CSMM, you ask? well, I thought the
"spec sheets" of more geenral interest and of a better data/noise
ratio than the others ... it was a tough call! :-)

ps: in general, new product announcements or press releases should be posted
to comp.newprod; however, the moderator of that group has in the
past been known to accept press releases ONLY when coming from "the
horses mouth" (i.e. from the originator).
If you want to announce a Macintosh-product, that's the place to
post (cross-post to the appropriate unmoderated comp.sys.mac.*
group if you must; though I am not sure if/that the moderator of
comp.newprod honors the cross-posting request. do NOT post an
identical copy of the article to an unmoderated group - that would
duplicate the net-load and might get the comp.newprod moderator
mad. Posting a brief article containing a pointer to the larger
article in comp.newprod is a good idea, however - but wait until
you actually have seen the article distributed on comp.newprod)
If you would like to submit a new product announcement
to comp.sys.mac.announce (or an announcement of a SIGNIFICANT
update) my policy shall be to accept only articles which
(a) are of interest to a LARGE (my call) portion of all
Macintosh users
(b) contain little or no "fluff" (my call; I either return
non-qualifying articles, forward them to another
newsgroup, or edit a summarized/condensed version)
(c) are "real" products (i.e. the less confidence that I
have that the product is of mature release quality
the less likely it will be that I accept the article
for CBMA-distribution)
that's my informal guideline; I apologize in advance if you
should find fault with any of my decisions. But I'll do the
best that I can (no more and no less ...:-)
Cheers, ---Werner
