Yes and No. I did send out press releases to all the large Apple II User
Groups, and know that 99.99% of them re-printed that press release. At this
point, I am waiting to see reviews start to appear in User Group
newsletters, and the only one I've seen so far came from the Hawaii Apple
II group. It was pretty impressive.

Printing up a 20 page newsletter (that's what the first issue was) can
start getting expensive. So, what I did was to assume that all the prime
movers and shakers of the Apple II world would be attending KansasFest, and
I gave everyone there a free copy.

Please understand that no one is bankrolling SSII, and I'm on a pretty
tight budget. Working for inCider wasn't exactly lucrative. In any case, I
feel like I've spent the last few months self-promoting SSII, and it may be
hard to believe, but I'm starting to get real sick of it. The newsletter
speaks for itself, and I am depending on contented subscribers to help
spread the word.
