I agree wholeheartedly that it takes a dedicated media person to pull this type of thing off successfully. Often when RC's are trying to pluck enough people to run chase/mark boats, its difficult to find someone whose only job it is to "play on the computer".

I found this out firsthand during this years T500. I tried to play Team Manager AND media man at the same time. I'd like to think that I performed my duties adequately as the team manager, but I indeed dropped the ball when it came to media --most of it due to the fact that I couldn't tether my treo at the most inopportune time (like trying to get a googlemap to where Trey and Alan had beached when their rudder fell off)
