Speaking of which, just how much does it cost to advertise in SOS? I dont
think a little 1/16 b+w ad will help things much, infact it might make the
situation look worse than it is. I'm thinking of the lowgrade ads for
Atari ST software in the dying days of the ST.

I'm not so sure. I dont remember seeing any "Windows doesn't suck to much,
really" adverts when Windows was trying to make an impact on the audio
world. It was just the software vendors porting thier software, and
hardware vendors producing drivers.

Yes, and I think I like being an enthusiast. The amatuer v's professional
thing is a bit of a moot point in my case.
