[NSRCA-discussion] RC REPORT

[seefo at san.rr.com]

I think it goes much deeper Tony..

In the 'old days' people used to get their information about new products from magazines. In today's world, by the time something hits the magazine print, it's already been discussed in detail for the past 3 months on the internet forums. The print media cannot deliver the instant distribution that electronic forums can.

To be honest, I'm more than a bit shocked there is still ANY life in the print media.
