I'm on TradeMe right now and it doesn't look that busy... just listing some pot plants and cellphones if anyone's interested :D

No PCW staff are working reception.
My cellphone has switched telcos, not disappeared.
The pot plants and as much peripheral stuff as poss is being disappeared because we're moving to a new office building shortly (still by ourselves, rather than in with Fairfax), which features a brand new fully-equipped kitchen plus, more importantly, a brand new fully-equipped PC World Test Centre.
Yes, we did switch tea bags from Twinings to Dilmah, though I'm not sure if that warrants national news.

It's all good. I'm still mainlining coffee. Scott is still mainlining tea. Bruce is still mainling both.

Although I have to say, a cream cheese bagel and medium hot chocolate from Dunkin Donuts is the breakfast of champions ...

504254 2006-12-05 21:33:00 Thanks Chris. Business as usual then. I look forward to my next 2 years of PC World then.

I toyed with the idea of cancelling my subscription to it, for another mag, but didn't.

BTW: Your selection of from the last 200 issues in the latest issue, I think I still have every single one on my book shelf, which collapsed recently under the weight.

504255 2006-12-05 21:39:00 So who's cellphone have I got? Could swear that's a bit of cream cheese on it, but too scared to lick it and find out :yuck:

Still, nice to know it's just freindly sniping between media moguls... presumably only rubber bullets being used and no animals harmed in the making of this commercial :D

Translated to English... I'd like PF1 to stick around, as they say: "The best things in life are free..." :thumbs:

Sorry, my bad spelling... should have been 'fiendly'

Presumably some other publication will report :-
"200th Anniversary Edition was final straw.
Local magazine, PC World collapses after Fairfax take-over. "

But what I want to know if you stop the monthly CD or DVD will we then get free cookies from the new kitchen?

Cheers for clarifying that.
