BUT I noticed it was in the local bookshops & countdown last Thursday and Pak N Save mag racks on Friday. So much for getting it any earlier or on time. Also noticed quite a few of the articles in PC world were in the previous months or so Aust mags, seems there's a bit of copying, just another reason not to renew it The Australian mags always arrive a day or so before the shops get them.	wainuitech (129)
1132569	2010-08-28 11:57:00	I used to get PC World for about 6 six years but stuff got too complicated and I couldnt understand stuff any more so I didnt renew subscription. 66 years is a longtime.	plod (107)
1132570	2010-08-28 11:59:00	I don't subscribe. My mum gets it for me from New World or Countdown. I've been getting it ever since Netguide stopped having disks with their mags, as the only good thing about their mags was the disk, plus we only had dial up at the time	goodiesguy (15316)
1132571	2010-08-29 21:37:00	I too was a long time subscriber. Cancelled well over a year ago. Now I just get it from the library and have a flick through it. Definately not a patch on the magazine it used to be...	tingle (6539)
1132572	2010-08-29 21:39:00	same - library occasionally. i am not really a computer nerd. i'm more just a computer user. i generally keep a system for 4yrs without major upgrades.	Nomad (952)

Hard to believe that a specialist magazine would push that crap on punters . Amazing the number of times I hear "but it gets great reviews" when I'm fixing someone's computer (due to one or other of those products screwing with it) . . . My auto-renew won't be renewed . . .	johcar (6283)
1132574	2010-08-29 22:47:00	How many people still do read it? I do, but don't really no anyone else that does. I get it delivered and it typically takes about five minutes to read it, about three minutes of that is reading the ads.	Twelvevolts (5457)

Wouldn't have to worry about putting it in any fancy cover. Just put it in a PDF file or something. But, pity you can't add it as an attachment.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1132577	2010-08-30 01:16:00	Maybe they finally realised that there is only one reader left in the country I gave up on it ages ago when it went the way of all computer magazines I have subscribed to since about 1995 and started pandering to the advertisers too much. Geoff Palmer used to do some good articles on Linux and Delphi/Kylix etc and he wasn't scared to slam MS when they deserved it but he appears to have been hobbled now.	mikebartnz (21)
