[following up on the above message of mine earlier....]
Romana has asked me to pass along the following:
In this month's issue of Photo/Electric Imaging, Stego is featured as an
ideal product for "watermarking" digital images. A commerical photographer
pointed out the article to me. This magazine is available at major camera
stores such as Ewert's in San Jose - I haven't dropped by to pick up my
own copy yet. I was polite but icy to Mondo folks when they inquired about
Stego, sent them the same info that I send everyone else, but pointed out the
exceedingly poor research they had done for _Mondo's Guide To The New Edge_,
and expressed a hope that my product would not be similarly treated.
