| 30076 | 2002-01-07 06:10:00 | Just in reply to your comments om subscription...while money is tight at the mo and I hate the idea of paying for stuff I can see your point of view and think that one of the things you could look at is a limited subscription tied in with the price of your mag that would open up a few extra sites....ie passwords/codes in the mags and then this gives you acess to features not normally found on the current site.... buggered if I know what but I thought it sounded good. Also have you thought of getting the software manufacturers to subscribe??....there is a wealth of knowledge here as well as the entire range of computer literacy/experience, why not see if they want the ppl here to do beta testing or reviews etc??...theres a lot of companies out there that specialise in this sort of thing including surveys etc that just dont seem to reach the people that end up using the product. I for one wouldn't mind getting my hands on some new software and playing with it till it breaks....like I seem to do with this infernal thing...and I can always come here for help to set things straight again. As for the ads...keep em coming..if it pays for this then I'm all for it. I dont expect rewards or anything else for helping...or in my case trying to till someone who knows what they are talking about can answer...I just like to help people out the way I've been helped when I've been stuck..swings and roundabouts as grandad used to say. |

| 30077 | 2002-01-07 06:16:00 | Hi Kerry, I'd forgotten that there are ads on this side, using Opera 6 with all the options turned off preddy much. If IDGNet gets paid a decent amount for the ads displayed I'll have to consider turning them on again. JM |

| 30080 | 2002-01-08 02:44:00 | 1) I dont see the ads cos I turned em off with ad wipe :) 2)some local places (cheap) to buy hard ware would be good, cos i only know of a few non-big'n'commercial retailers, and i refuse to buy anything from like Noel Leemings (crap customer service, does they know even what a HARD DRIVE is...) 3)recently at yahoo.com they have been running a Coke ad, which (i think) is Flash, but it takes up 1/2 your screen, and totally disorts everything, this is unacceptable. Static, low bandwidth hogging (for us slowies on 56k's) ads would be good. From New Zealand companies to encourage people to buy from NZ rather than go buy from overseas cheaper places (good ole'e kiwi $..) What a wicked job you have :) keep up all yer awesome work |

| 30081 | 2002-01-08 05:14:00 | Hey Tones r Yep, love my job to bits - get to talk to all sorts of people, surf the Net all day and get paid for it, and live & breathe the cutting and bleeding edge of technology. I am a totally self-confessed geek girl and getting worse by the day! I'll be showing this posting and all its comments to my advertisers. I'm sure that you guys have given them some very valuable information on what you actually want to see from their ads - hope to see this will make a difference over the coming months! Watch this space! Cheers Kerry |

| 30082 | 2002-01-08 11:33:00 | Here's a thought, A lot of students I know save a few bucks on your mag by not buying it. Why?? because they can normally read the articles here. I still buy it myself because our degree requires x amount of reading (I am sure pcworld counts). But because they basically make it the same content a lot of people probably aren't buying the mag. At the end of the day your in the business of selling magazines, so maybe if the yearly sub for the mag included access to a subscribers area and the free part of the site served up just the basics as a 'taste test' of what was available in the mag?? who knows. |

| 30083 | 2002-01-08 13:12:00 | Like everyone else I hate popups as well as flashing adverts. The thing to remember is not everyone has a fast connection so the adverts should be short and sweet. There is one place I work at quite frequently on the coast where I can only connect at 9.6 as it is a radio phone system. I subscribe to a few tech publications and some of them are now emailing in html with adverts and I find them less readable and one of them I am thinking of unsubscribing. The text ones were more readable and still contained adverts | Guest (0) | ||
| 30084 | 2002-01-08 20:33:00 | Hey Mike, Agree with the smaller connection thing, although when I log in through my home PC (got 2 connections, 1=56K, the other = 28K), our sites still seem to load reasonably quickly compared to other commercial sites. As I've said earlier, we try to keep ad file sizes down so that you guys have a fast surfing experience. We are also going from just plain text newsletters to HTML newsletters. The good thing with our service is that when you sign up for the service, you'll be able to decide whether you want HTML or text. And if you decide to change formats after you've signed up, you can do that too. Check out the following URL for more info: www.idg.tx.co.nz Cheers Kerry |
