[IMC-US] Re: Where are we at w/ press release?

[Ana Nogueira]

So it hasn¹t gone out yet? When I get to work, I have a small list there,
but I think its mostly tv people who are unlikely to pick this up. I don¹t
think I can help with finding press contacts today...Anyone else?

Also, deva, can we get the features column back to white?

Thanks
ana
