Oh, I'm not talking about a newspaper or something that you bribe 
to write about your product, because they do suck.  I'm talking 
about us writing our own press release and paying a firm like 
prnewswire money to send it to about 30,000 newspapers and a few 
thousand websites, some of whom are likely to write an article 
based on our release.  But I agree with Daniel to an extent that 
promoting it online among Linux users and VB programmers is the 
wiser choice at this stage.  I still may write a release and 
submit it to prweb, though, which is free and still carried by a 
bunch of websites.
