(Edit - just realized I necrod, can't believe nobody told me about this thread :( ) Hey all. Have just spoken to Michael and it turns out the monitor was to be marked as an import at the R2800 price but the changes never went through - our mistake.The second, higher price is indeed off wantitall. I'...

lol But the article was informative non the less. But I guess you get what you can pay for and try to make the best of it. I never knew the i7 was this powerful though. I looked at just cause 2 with me getting 60fps with everything maxed back when I had the 5870 and wondered what everyone was on ab...

Before this thread peters I just want to say thank you for all the valuable input. I sometimes think I am going mad when I raise some of these issues, especially a more novice title like Computer Active. I know the gaming has been huge of late, it's also a side-effect of relying more on UK content w...

Aw it's all good. Just want everybody to know we are here and there's nothing we want more than happy readers. Am thinking of ways to get everyone more involved, possibly ways that involve beer. I would even open up the main site for you for you guys and girls submit content if anyone was interested...

Thanks guys

Hi all, I will try my best to reiterate what Ron posted at the beginning but first things first; I know you all miss Cameron, Tamsin, Mars, Tom Bombadil etc. I have heard it ad nauseuam and I pray that when I am gone my legacy will be used to torture the new sucker, I mean editor. Regarding the G3AR...

Spam or not, I hope all your website concerns are now laid to rest?

I can't believe that, nobody even told me at the office We snuck that one in so late as our journalist got back 2 days before print. Sorry all. Thank goodness it was Blizzard, everybody must have instantly known it was a mistake.

Hi all. Mclaren I am really sorry you feel that way. As I have said before the gaming stuff has been added to our monthly quota of tech and by added I mean it attracts it's own advertising to pay for the extra physical pages we have bolted on. I will admit the covers have been very gaming focused bu...

Blah blah, redesign coming

Hi all, I have been handed down this task from mount PR, please see below and give a shout out to your peeps if possible. Title: Software Developer Purpose of Position: To provide capacity for developing and maintaining projects at Panorama Digital. Main tasks of the position: The recruit will need ...

Just a heads up on the glue situation. The investigation done by our media authors into the 'glue on the disc' issue that has ruined a good few Dec DVDs has been completed. It turns out the that cause of the problem was apparently too much glue :? Either way, it really wasn't fair to our readers and...

We will not be exhibiting this year Tribbs, but we will be skulking about between the isles.

Hi all. I don't have a leg to stand on here as we are only permitted to distribute domestically. The only thing to do is get hold of Future Publishing via http://www.futureplc.com/ and see what they can do.

Hope it helps

Hi all. Before this spirals out of control please allow me to weigh-in with some inside info. Regarding the Alienware we were indeed a month late (not two as far as I know) because we only got the laptop a month after NAG. I went to war with Dell's PR because it was a day before going to print that ...

Hi guys There are two related issues with the August (161) issue that weren't picked up until after print. First: on the cover, the Overclock your GeForce GTX 470 article was pulled out at the very last second but the cover line snuck past us. We can put it into the September issue if there is a dem...

Eeek on the spelling; despite her lack of involvement, I will flog my sub-editor with the latest hard-cover issue of Mein Spelling Nazi. To be honest its worse than just the spelling, companies are only entitled to singular pronouns anyway - its a forum, watchagonnado :oops: ? Moving on, I just chat...

Just to be clear, I was joking.

Obviously

Howdy y'all I responded to a reader query about this issue just yesterday and will paste my response. The notion that the review is sponsored is obviously preposterous for so many legitimate reasons not to mention a complete lack of any commercial presence by NVIDIA in PCF globally let alone South A...

It's not a new problem or one that doesn't irritate me profusely. Will bug Dawid again to take a look as soon as he has recovered from the mountains of work he's currently squirming under. We suspect there is a fault with the DNS listing and anything that far back gets tricky and makes Ron and D ver...

Hi peeps, the ad is part of a sponsorship deal so its prepaid. By all means do as you normally would - tweaking your behavior is counterproductive for both parties (although the sentiment is greatly appreciated!)

Please don't feed the troll. The advert above is part of a big sponsorship campaign around a series of learning to code for Ovi Store articles we are starting in July. We are running 3 installments in the magazine (remember that paper thing you lot used to buy :mrgreen:). Its a project I have been t...

Sorry for rejoining this a tad late, there is something else.. A kind reader from Cape Town way gave me a call to let us know that some of the November discs are... borked. They apparently just sit and spin in the drive without doing anything. This is unrelated to the file system, it seems to be a ...

Hi all. Just popping in to say how absolutely broken I am by your awesome support. We must have done something right somewhere along the lines. f0rsak3n, drop me a mail and we will see what we can do. These things do happen and poor Drakonis feels like a heel (not to mention that dodgy editor fellow...

Another case of GB's flavour of the minute personality. 5 months ago he professed to being a WoW addict and he's yet to hit level 30. sigh.
