| 164931 | 2003-08-03 09:27:00 | I like the content as it is thanks. If it were as tightly focussed as some would want, then I couldn't afford it, as the circulation would certainly drop to encompass only those hard core users, and the price would have to rise. To those that find the content too broad for their liking there is always APC, PC User, PC Authority... oh wait .. they have broadly based editorial as well so perhaps the market researchers have actually done their homework after all? A company doesn't blindly churn out a product such as this without some basis for doing so, in the form of satisfaction surveys. The results of a thread such as this does not accurately portray the readership wants either, as the statistical base is somewhat skewed by the sector of interest of the group. |

| 164932 | 2003-08-03 09:56:00 | I wasn't going to mention other publications, but seeing Godfather has brought it up I must say tat PC Authority is a much better computer mag. than PC World. I buy it every month and I think I will be dropping PCW from my shopping list. | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 164933 | 2003-08-03 10:03:00 | Hear hear Godfather and others. I like PC World as it currently exists. I bought my first copy out of curiosity in February and now subscribe. The mix of technology with a refreshing writing style makes for good reading. The span of coverage such as cameras and cellphones simply reflect our digital age - and they are things I like to know about, alongside computers themselves. What would be worthwhile is for PCW to invite suggestions for articles from this forum. Every publication struggles for topics to fill the pages so ideas from these worthy members would be helpful to everyone Cheers Winston001 |

| 164935 | 2003-08-03 10:17:00 | actaully powa dual cpu pc's do require the correct software support eg an os that is smp capable. for programs to make maxium use of both cpu's they also need to be smp capable. as far as pcworld goes anything computer related is fine by me includeing cellphones. after all users do use them for internet use. also with the large amount of multimedia use i do like to see reviews of speakers and hometheater setups :) |

| 164936 | 2003-08-03 10:40:00 | I think quite a few on this post should try starting their own mag and see how difficult it is to get the right balance to get a decent readership. I personally think the balance is pretty good and just skip the topics that don't interest me. At least they haven't sold their souls to MS like a couple of mags I used to subscribe to. |

I buy it > every month and I think I will be dropping PCW from my shopping list. Every magazine has it's ups and downs.. I like PCWorld in preference to other PC Mags and will only buy others if they have something which catches my attention. The problem with most of those Aussie Magazines is that half of the contents of the magazine are articles other related stuff, the rest are advertisements... Seems pointless to me to pay for advertising. |

| 164938 | 2003-08-03 10:55:00 | Following on from cyberchuck, just be thankful that our very own PC World isnt like so many American mags, including the US version of PC World. You open them, and all you see is advertisements, the actual reading matter is often difficult to find, buried as it usually is between pages of ads. For my money NZ PC World is one of the best around. |

| 164939 | 2003-08-03 11:01:00 | And following on even further,the one thing i like about pcworld is they have the balls to call a spade a sade,other magazines i have read over the years the articles are a mere extension of the advertising. They also get it right on the money when it comes to reviewing games. Although,i was a little disapointed a couple months back when xbox releases started getting reviewed.... |
