| 114115 | 2003-01-16 01:48:00 | Designing a cover would be a good idea, but I'd do it so they only design the background, and are only told what the cover should look like. Also, I'm not sure about how many CDs PC World have with every issue, but a double CD is essential :D Most mags have two CDs every month, and I think if PC World doesn't, they should make it standard. Another idea is to occaisonally (or permanently) have, along side the normal coverdisc version of the mag, have a cover DVD version of the mag available sometimes. |

| 114116 | 2003-01-16 01:51:00 | PCW is the only one on my subscription list. I do go and flick through some of the others in the local library (Whitcoulls :)) every now and then tho. I think the quality of the cover cd has increased over the past couple of years as well, but what would be handy is small text file updated every month naming every program on every cd (in alpha order) and what month's cd it was on. And Scott Bartley has managed to increase the humour level by several thousand percent --- yayyy. :) |

In a sense they already do that - just pop your CD into the drive, after a little Shockwave animation, internet explorer loads and opens X:\INDEX . HTM where X: is your CD Drive and that lists all the programs on the PCW CD - although, you could always refer to PCWorld's "What's On The CD" page which is right behind the table of contents?

I agree ... wholeheartedly ... and am quite ashamed I haven't gotten around to doing it earlier. It's the old problem of not enough time to do it. If anybody has any suggestions for the best way to about cataloguing all our CD's please feel free to let me know. Some kind soul (sorry I don't recall who) actually made a grand attempt at this. Go to this website (mystuff.orcon.net.nz) to check it out. |

| 114122 | 2003-01-16 02:16:00 | I think the easiest way to do it would've been to do it right from the start ;) But that said, I seem to remember catalogueing programs from somewhere, and you could always just assign one of the staff members not doing much to start working on it. It'd be best to have a base file with the years on it, you click a year, and then click a month, and it loads the CD contents for that month. After that, (if you have a page on your coverdiscs listing the contents) you could just use the CD Map page from future coverdiscs. |
