| 164921 | 2003-08-03 06:12:00 | I feel like reading a story book when I read PC World, not very practicle and informative. Umm.. I should think PC World should became a weekly mag .. most of the items in PC World is 2 to 4 weeks behind.. if not more... Maybe NZ doesn't have the market for it .. but they have women's weekly .. :P |

| 164922 | 2003-08-03 06:12:00 | Another 200 pages/ mth would just about nail it for a brief overview of the pc world. We all have our own preferences, trying to satisfy them all would be a nightmare and a complete disaster. To pinch a theme, having said that however, I would like to see, more Geoff Palmer articles, more How To's, more projects and I don't mind the digital articles although I have little interest in PDA's, etc and no interest in cell phones (sorry Robo :D, cheesy grin). Maybe we could pester the forum mod's every now and then to influence editorial content in PC World ;\ ;) Marke would appreciate that, I'm sure. Hmm... a regular monthly poll by a credible PF1'er, Hey Mr Billy T your used to posting to deadlines and have a certain way with words, waddya think ?? Cheers Murray P |

| 164924 | 2003-08-03 06:21:00 | I like the general balance of articles as it is. Don't forget that regular home users also buy the magazine and they need to be catered for as well. A lot of people are now buying computers so that they can download and edit their own digital images/movies. So the technology is intertwined. The same with printers, PDA's and anything else that can be attached to a computer. People want to know what the lastest and greatests products are. I personally would like more linux articles, but the reader population that uses linux would not warrant a greater section (at this time :D). I also agree that more regular how-to articles to keep up with the rapidly changing technology would also be nice. I enjoy my subscription to NZ PC World, I read the bits that interest me in detail and skim read those which don't. |

| 164926 | 2003-08-03 06:44:00 | Oh yes Jen, Linux for sure although G.P's articles will help on that front but it is specific to what he's doing at the mo. My personal fav at this time would be 101 ways to install on an nForce based computer X-( Cheers Murray P |

This makes sense - PC world tries to deal with a broad spread of readers, and also the continual crop of newbies who are now into a PC. Powa seems to think that ".. Dual Processor Motherboards and Cpu's?? Cos thats where its at, twice the power in one machine!" which hardly reflects a wider audience. Go find your own special interest mag ! Cheers T |

| 164928 | 2003-08-03 07:35:00 | I agree Tony. I think PCW has just the right balance. As for articles on cellphones,digicams etc, when I first brought my computer I didn't think I needed a scanner or webcam till I saw reviews/articles in PCW. After reading several digicam articles in PCW, I will probably go buy one of those as well. One of these days LOL. |

| 164929 | 2003-08-03 07:50:00 | Have you thought of contacting PCWorld/IDG about this instead of placing your comments on PF1? Every journalist has their strengths and therefore writes accordingly. However you are right about Geoff Palmer's articles.. Usually one of the first things I read when PCW comes in the mail. CyberChuck |

No. Don't insult my intelligence. Who in their right mind would apply for a job there? As for reviews on pc manufacturers, its a valid point, and I'll display my views of PCco in every post if I have to - bite me. > dual cpu is pretty crap for a lot of stuff cos most stuff is not programmed to support it, that is of course, unless your playing Doom 3, 2 times at once. Have you actually researched them? I haven't really but I learned all the support is done by the motherboard and it splits up the tasks and sends them to the 2 cpus, hence you get things done quicker. Kinda like hyperthreading. Software support - not in the equation, it will work regardless, software optimisation - maybe. And its in my view that dual processor motherboards are more on topic than cellphones! One article is all I'm asking :) Besides who pays lots of money for a motherboard, and wouldn't mind paying just for an additional cpu to add to the speed, rather than upgrade both the MB, and CPU?? |
