Yes that is another way, but remember the media is very hard head,
and sometimes they just negate the facts or make some up..
to treat the media you have to be very carefully it can get against 
you.. it all depends
what the media stock holders thinks about the issue.. I really will not 
want any story about Free Software on Fox25 news.. ahem...
maybe independent media is easier to work with PBS... to name one.
I am not saying this is not good, I think is a good idea but it can 
shoot us back in the feet,
also to get media attention you have to do something big..
The awesome Chinese guy the other week had a very good media attention 
and too the word of FreeSoftware beyond anyone I can Imagen before, next 
week
Soon Bill Gates is coming to Boston and at BinaryFreedom we  are 
planning in giving away FreeCD's as presents and to outside in the 
street to give away flyers and talk to students, this is something if 
done right can be put on independent media outlets with out having to 
jump in front of Bill Gates like the guy from China :-)

I do like the projector idea.. what type of projector is needed for this?
hmmm this brings a lot of ideas... */puts evil smile */

lol but in Boston you have to be careful just in case some guy passes 
buy and thinks we are trying to call ET and having secret msg's by a 
projector to the terrorist :-) HEHE
