Dealing with the Press

While I understand your reaction to the negative comments being put forth about reporters in general, I will say that there is definitely a basis for the negativity. Most of the many times I've been interviewed, the article came out in a way that made me embarassed to have been quoted or to have been the subject. Now, I realize your message was reactionary, but you should realize that you are one of the most impressive reporters and researchers I have ever known (and you know I've told you this many times before). You are really the exception to the norm (unfortunately). You are probably very lucky to work with the team that you do. You are most likely insulated from the schlock reporting that takes place. So anyway, don't take it as an affront. If you want, I'll even point out all the (many) inaccuracies in the various stories I've presented in the Press section of the VCF website: http://www.vintage.org/press.php ...then you'll know of what we speak ;) -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
