61004 2002-07-09 09:30:00 Anyone had a look at the directory contents of the July pc world cd??

* In the games dir there is a file (outpost.htm) linking to a firewall (firewalls aren't typically games)

* D:\Movies\MOVIES1.HTM isn't linked to from anywhere.

* D:\Movies\minority_report-tr2_m480.mov is a missing link in D:\Movies\MOVIES1.HTM and doesn't exist on the CD.


where D:\ is my cd-rom drive.


Just wondering if this is me, or if all July pcworld cd's are like this???

61006 2002-07-09 21:45:00 When I build the CD each month I leave the odd "spare" HTML file lying around...sometimes on purpose...sometimes not.

In the case of Minority Report for instance, we had no movies on the CD that month but I left the Movies folder and HTML there from the previous month so I could use it the following month as a template. That sounds convoluted....but it makes sense....kind of.

Just think of them as easter eggs....really really dull easter eggs :)
