| 606198 | 2007-10-30 18:30:00 | Well, this month's issue is a lot like the wrappers that came out around the time of Vista's emergence. More depressing than political excuses. Sorry, but it seems to be a Fairfax Special again. The Geek picture was apparently selected by a minion who is unaware of what a computer is. The article accompanying the picture must have been hatched by someone who doesn't know what day it is. And does it say MacWorld anywhere in the title? I fear the NZ bit is starting to become irrelevant too. In favour of this issue, the date was pretty close to correct, only a couple of days out, but (unlike the clock) it seems to be getting closer to rectitude. The DVD packing and securing is vastly improved on some efforts of the not too recent past. I saved the disc, and someday I will look at it possibly. The magazine had a shorter period of service for me. On the bus home a somewhat intoxicated passenger was making a bit of a nuisance of himself, so as he and the magazine caused similar feelings in my noble soul, I gave him my copy. He must have been somewhat happy with it as he was quiet for the rest of the journey so it filled a public-service niche admirably. Summary: Your magazine is not showing the results you have previously shown yourselves capable of. I reccomend a strong dose of self study, a return of Dumb Terminal to the correct position, and attention to core values. If these steps are not taken, I am afraid you will have to see me after school. Stop things like that "Geek" article (apparently aimed at long-term sufferers of attention deficit), get back to your core values and purge yourselves of the Mac affliction. Good luck with your recovery. |

These days your magazine simply seems to serve as a recepticle for advertising, with the bare minimum of actual substance - just enough to make some poor sod buy it. There isn't much (if anything) of real value left. Does anyone remember the days of Geoff's Delphi tutorials? Dumb terminal? Articles that assume we have more intelligence and technical knowledge than your average farmyard chicken? |
