Hi Thomas

After checking back through the threads I realised it was you who asked the original question. Sorry!

Yep, It's a pain. Half the problem is that journos only like to write 'huge' headlines, e.g. "NetWare dumped - NT all the way" or some such bumph, so a story like "BT standardise on IntranetWare" will get a litle panel pane, not the headline we need - and deserve.

Still, 28,000 users? I knew the US sites are generally larger than our little LANs in the UK, not counting BT, but I *know* we'd be eager to get a success story in the editor's faces. (Especially if a spokesperson could say something along the lines of 'NT is dead as a network OS' etc. etc. Stir them up a bit, as it were.) If there's anybody you know who could push something like this through, drop me a line and I'll make sure it gets to the right people....

Thanks and goodnight (for real this time!)

Peter
