| 177710 | 2003-09-25 07:44:00 | No splash screen ... it was done in Flash wasn't it?? as that always seems to take some time to load on an older PC. Content: A couple of movie trailers per month. One game demo per month. The latest DX version once every 2 or 3 months. Rotate the browsers on a monthly basis. Rotate firewall and antivirus software on a monthly basis. Fill the rest with freeware goodness. :) Envelope: Personally I like the latest envelopes. I found the earlier ones had the flap folded on the inside and in summer that flap tended to stick like glue to the CD itself. More than one CD I scratched trying to get that flap open. I open the later ones sliding a knife along the top (similar to conventional envelope opening with an envelope knife). Maybe a little bit more room to get the knife in without connecting with the CD. :) The best / most useful piece of software on the CDs has been OOo. :) And who cares if the latest was a release candidate. It's way better than the previous version, and with Flash and Acrobat support. B-) :) :) :) |

| 177711 | 2003-09-25 08:35:00 | I kinda like the splash screen, esp the little songs n stuff that come with it..., but yea maybe you could have a little config file and a 'preferences' window or something? | promethius (1998) | ||
| 177712 | 2003-09-25 08:50:00 | It's somtimes nice to have a little kiwi music playing when you first load at beast up but from there on it's a pain in the ass, especially when you don't know if what you want is on that CD. Say I would say ... ****-can it! | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 177713 | 2003-09-25 09:05:00 | > Hmmm... Interesting.. I found that in the last 3 months, my little plastic case has had > to be ripped fully before I could get the CD out. Glue's too damn good ;-) lol I haven't had that problem to be honest... Although I did loan my friend this months PCWorld CD before I got a chance to run through it and the case came back in dodgy condition. He claims it was due to the glue.. I think he just wanted to break something of mine :-p Nothing wrong with it.. Quality Assurance that the CD has not been tampered with on it's way to your house ;-) CyberChuck |

| 177715 | 2003-09-25 09:24:00 | No to the splash screen :) | Gods-Hitman (1419) | ||
| 177716 | 2003-09-25 09:40:00 | I agree with 99.9% of what has been said, get rid of it. Including the sleeves, although once they are out I put them in ajewel case and dispose of the sleeve. Would be nice maybe with the November issue to get a database of items on the previous years issues. Have spent ages trolling through PC World and cd trying to find an article/programme that I am sure was listed. |
