Ah, but photographers take pictures which later make it into newspapers and magazines, the TV cameras are there etc. If there was no value in this sort of advertising, no one would do it. However, there's little worldwide advertising value in sponsoring a team of local 12-year olds somewhere.
> Is it just me, or is Bill Duck really scraping the barrel now?
Well, if he did it to help out some youngsters, more power to his elbow.
> Quick, find something to announce! Anything! Just get the company into a
> headline!
Sadly, I think you're probably right. Just another really cheap way of getting a headline. Why this is of relevance in a computer news forum like ANN is beyond me, although it might have some relevance in a local Moenchengladbach newspaper.
> File under G4 daughtercards at $200 and 'Viscorp is the new owner of Amiga'.
I do remember the Viscorp farce, and how we were told for months they had bought Amiga. Turns out that wasn't exactly true... |
