Not everyone; there's no many magazines.
We should compile a list of magazines/journals appropriate for this
kind of announcing and decide who will send the press release
to target.
If everyone would send a letter to their favourite magazine, it
may happen that the magazine will not publish anything, because
they think that we are trying to just make harm to them by sending
N+1 announces to them (after three letters they will be stroking
letters to garbage box).
Also newspapers loves titles like "Real computer operating system
reaches home computers for free". At least, our newspapers have
science&nature stories weekly.
