628104 2008-01-08 17:39:00 With $12M, I'rd start a computer mag. One that is exclusively PC. Not a single mention of cell phones or cameras and the other stuff that is taking over this mag.

How long since we've seen a genuine review of cpu's and vid cards etc in this one.
In fact how long since we've seen a review of anything that hasn't been copied from the US version of this mag?

For 12m you could buy the genuine article and see if you could put your fight simulations to good use.
Now there's a positive thought for you JJ,I know you were having difficulty on that front.

I do however agree with you in that it would be nice to have more PC articles.

I can name three OZ computer mags. No ancilliaries either.

628109 2008-01-09 00:12:00 You'd need a good portion of that 12M to run the Cayenne, the way the price of oil is going... :)Ah well - there goes the donations to charity! :D Greg (193)
628110 2008-01-09 03:23:00 I heard someone won 12M in lotto. How nice. What would YOU do with 12M? I would buy a nice a house with full of latest computers. Oh yeah babe.
