| 558858 | 2007-06-13 21:18:00 | Just opened the latest copy of NZ PCWorld, flipped straight to the portable player comparison, and found no less than three grammatical errors and one factual error in the first two pages! Bring back the editor I say, (or release him from his cage)! (Creative Zen got editor's choice above iPod - suck on that, Winmacguy!) |

| 558860 | 2007-06-13 21:54:00 | Sadly the content is gradually dumbing down too. You don't have to go too far back to see a significant difference in depth. I find PCW less and less useful as time goes on, but I'm not planning on cancelling my subscription any time soon. Thank heavens PF1 is here for quality advice from people who know how computers work. Cheers Billy 8-{) :illogical |

Bring back the editor I say, (or release him from his cage)! (Creative Zen got editor's choice above iPod - suck on that, Winmacguy!) And the factual error would be what? |

| 558863 | 2007-06-13 22:55:00 | And the factual error would be what? Page 46: " Compare this to Apple's iPod, which supports just MPEG-4 and MOV files...." Page 47 chart, under Video format support - MPV, MP4, MOV Ok, call me picky! |

" Page 47 chart, under Video format support - MPV, MP4, MOV Ok, call me picky!Both MPV and MP4 (although MPV is less commonly used) are extensions representing files that can contain MPEG-4 video. |

Dunno how the ignorant amongst us should know that, but I stand corrected . Needless to say, no comment was made about the grammatical errors - if I were Billy T I'd be shuddering at the prospect of reading the rest of the mag! :eek: Having said that, I learned a heck of a lot of my 'puter knowledge from reading the mag over the last ten years - the articles helped me adventure to places previously unknown . And although Scott's response to Billy was a bit sarcy, it smacks a lot of being true - the more we learn, the less there is to learn . |

Not according to the University ads on TV. They say the more you learn about something the more you realise there is to find out. Just because you have developed a version of something that doesn't mean there isn't a better or easier way to do it. |
