Here's the ad:
Upside magazine, April 1999, page 131:

-- nice little 2/3 page ad, in orange and blue, with a strange sort of TV screen graphic. I'd like to see the ad in a few more places, or see some articles mentioning burstware. I swear, I've been reading all sorts of magazines that discuss digital video, network video, even multicasting, but I haven't seen a mention of burstware. Is the company just flying completely below the radar still? Is there a more aggressive media campaign in the works?
Would somebody from the company feel comfortable coming onto the thread and saying a few encouraging words? Thanks for the feedback.
