| 547146 | 2007-05-07 23:25:00 | Stuff the July issue and all other issues. PCW is now on my "no Buy" list. A couple of OZ mags will do me in the future. Of course I'll have to check out ownership of the OZ ones first. No more of Unfaifax for me. I am absolutely sure Mr. Jack G. that you can well remember back to when PC World did not come with a CD :) Then they introduced the CD, but if you wanted it, it was an extra to subscribe to, I can't remember now how much it cost. Then around May 2000 it came as a 'free' issue with the magazine. But as with all freebies, as time goes by (dismuke.net), (oh that reminds me of a song), it becomes taken for granted, and regarded as a 'right' rather than a privilege :) |

Regards Peter Copy to postYou got your answer, why did you have to reply to them and drag out your issue? Either buy the mag or don't. |

| 547148 | 2007-05-08 01:33:00 | Sorted now and they are looking for suggestions from you lovelys. Hardly a drag out least we know what the happening. If we dont tell them they cant fix it reply follows from PCW No, on the contrary We're planning to reintroduce the cover DVD from July, and welcome readers' suggests for possible content. We currently have no download section of pcworld.co.nz, and no immediate plans to add one, though it is something we're considering. Thanks My notes re what suggestions for the relaunch of the dvd for july issue yippee Excellent How about a retro edition for all of us who dare to be different. A linux distro with a selection of drivers (come on now everyone expand on this) Open office A win celebration of the great unsupported win 31->1 (afterthought maybee not) to w2000 Drivers, os floppy editions for 95, dos3? Dos5? Dos 6 This would keep all of those small purpose no bloatware machines running for another round |
