PR does not matter I think that PR matters but I think it is to hazardous to put too much effort on, because it isn't sure it will work to any extent that matters. A that point, you will have lost a lot of time. Personally, I'm not into it either, that is, I don't find it interesting. But as for Apple, Jobs was obsessed with PR so what you say seems to be true, as there are two movies on him, and probably lots of other material as well (books, documentaries - but I think "we" have some of that, too). > Let me give a martial arts analogy: If you only > mirror' (is that the word?) the opponent, you cannot > win because he has first-mover advantage If you only > calculate your own moves and techniques and ignore > the opponent, you cant win because you will be > surprised.
