| 214978 | 2004-02-13 00:31:00 | Thanks Parry, that isn't one that I have but looks interesting. > What would be nice though is perhaps a category and a brief description based on whatever you can copy and paste. Just seeing a product name doesnt always make you know what it does. I agree - having a descriptoin is essential if your a download addict like me and cant remember what half the stuff is for six months later. :D |

| 214981 | 2004-02-13 01:45:00 | It's simply a line by line listing of the contents of the CD which we'll eventually clean up into a index of the content sof each CD and then put on the CD and online, probably in plain text/HTMl and/or an Excel file. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 214982 | 2004-02-13 01:52:00 | so you mean like if the cd has msn messenger.exe and readme.txt and addon.exe and image01.jpg and image2.jpg and msn.jpg then i just write msnmessenger.exe readme.txt addon.exe image01.jpg image2.jpeg msn.jpg in a email and send it off to you? but for this i'd be sending you the actual contents of every folder etc thats on pcworld cd of a specific month? |

| 214983 | 2004-02-13 02:08:00 | I'll do August 2003 and I'll take a PCW t-shirt size XL :p So you want us to go through the cd itself and look whats on it. Or go by the cd-guide that gets printed in the front of the magazine?? |

For example: 50 fixes for PC Annoyances: ZoneAlarm 3.7.202 Startup Control Panel v2.8 PrintFolder v1.2 WinRescue WinPatrol v6.0 Nero InfoTool v2.00 WEB BROWSERS: Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1 Netscape 7.1 Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Linux Mozilla 1.4 Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Linux Opera 7.2 Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP Get the drift? Put you off yet? :D Just make sure you don't miss any of the folders/pages. ;-) |

| 214985 | 2004-02-13 02:19:00 | Yup - that's what we're looking for. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 214986 | 2004-02-13 02:25:00 | Except that what Bruce needs is . . . (example only) ZoneAlarm; 3 . 7 . 202; April 2006 product; version; issue Note the semicolon separators . or, if there's no version . . . WinRescue;; April2006 note the 2 semicolons to show empty entry . Can nobody read? :_| |

| 214987 | 2004-02-13 03:46:00 | lol I'll do JUNE 2001 plus, i'll happily do more if you need the extra help. A few q's - do you want any sort of description? even like a brief comment such as "Firewall" , "mp3 player" etc etc and what do we do about things such as images (like space pics) - just leave them out? Or what about patchs and the sort? |
