Laugh its better for you :^O . You see we do care .

And very well written they are too . It depends on the readers interest at the time whether they hang on every word though and as we all know the PC/digital world can change very quickly so we users have to be at least aware . My time may come when I'm far away from home base and haven't enabled or know how to use the email feature on my cell phone ;) . Btw, what genus . ;)

Personally, I'd prefer you include all the dogs as well, I do respect your/PC Worlds views/expertise .

Nice to hear, and backed up by the content and letters you publish .

Thats about six cents worth Robo, can we expect a similar increase in content and value from our fav mag in future editions? :D

164953 2003-08-04 06:48:00 See, some things John reads, some things he doesn't. It's like that for all of us. We can't expect 128pages of things we find riveting, that would be a book not a magazine. Also, someone complained about the adverts. Without those, the magazine would cost way more to buy.

164954 2003-08-04 06:53:00 Ahem, we are still working on it (he better be) the Palm I mean.

Yes, it is that awareness thing. I've been ignoring some technologies here and there but stay vaguely aware of them and all of a sudden - BANG! You find they are practical. Like wireless networking, and video projectors.
There is some neat stuff happening out there, but there's a lot of bollocks too.

164957 2003-08-04 08:12:00 Interesting concept. Would increase flagging sales of the mags if they did. Assuming their sales are flagging of course, which I don't know, but I assume they would be with all the other mediums (ie the internet in particular).
Mind you, the local dairy seems to have about three shelves dedicated to underdressed women and only one shelf with Sabrina Secrets, Transformers, KTime, etc.
Not that I regularly count them or anything. Just checking for PC World, of course.
Oh boy, digging hole and still digging. Get out while I still can. Is that daylight up there?

164958 2003-08-04 10:17:00 Compared to the few PF1 posters who have complained about NZPCWorld's content, (which is their right), there are hundreds who have not. :( ~~~> :) :) :)

I guess one could interpret this as being a resounding declaration that NZPCWorld has got it right by satisfying most of the people most of the time. :) :) :) :)
