Title: RE: "State of the Midrange"

oh ... i think we have five or six cookie chefs ... :)

and actually we would certainly run a free ad for a good cause. a couple of years ago, i got very frustrated that IBM had a CD (you remember the famous "Bill Gates on the witness stand CD?") and yet, they did not distribute that CD to our market. I called IBM and offered to distribute the CD for free with the December issue of NEWS/400 and they took me up on the offer. This was expensive ($20K) but worth it.

however, i agree about the chefs. put the ad in Upside Magazine, Business 2.0, Fast Company, etc.

Frankly, I don't think that the cookie chef reads Midrange or News...I
think you should put your stuff in either Barrons or Wall Street...:)
Alternative woul dbe NY TImes...
