Wow guys. This is amazing. Really makes me even sadder to leave, this was a tough decision. I plan to travel the world but will be starting in the UK. I will also definitely keep posting to make sure you are all happy and well.

Well this is it Oh Great PCFormattians, I say my farewells and goodbyes. As of the 02 September I will be flying off to travel the world and explore strange new experiences. It has been awesome - you were the best readers I ever had with the coolest views and attitudes. I will miss you all horribly....

Here are the winners names as asked for... Winners of 100th Issue Awesome Prizes SANDISK COMPETITION Wayne Hooper SAMSUNG COMPETITION Percy Mahlatsi CITC COMPETITION Patience Nkole IOMEGA COMPETITION Gerhard de Jager LOGITECH COMPETITION Japhta Makoko BUYCOMPUTERS Kevin Gore SYNAPSYS COMPETITION Ann...

Most of the winners have been notified so sorry to all of you who didn't win I can tell you that I had over 20 000 entries - it was incredible! Style I am delighted your brother got his prize so quickly - I sent it off meself, he sounded SO happy it made my day phoning him.

Heya We are licensed to the UK for their content but we try and do all our own game reviews. The reason they may seem "out of date" is that we go to print two months before the mag hits the shelves so we can't really get around that. We are converting the currencies but in some cases it is...

Yeah sorry about this! I had to wait for the sponsor to actually get the stock to me and then our postal department went on leave for two weeks and then when I got back from sick leave there was a pile of grumpy winners! I am very sorry about that - please mail me if you don't have it by next Monday...

Oh that's easy... Of course the villain that locked you into the cage will be standing nearby ready to throw in a last gloat or two. So you do the following. You ask him to play the Steve Hofmeyer CD as your last request because evil villians generally grant you that sort of thing because they know ...

You guys are NOT reading what I wrote. I did not say that Christo and Alec both had the same partition problem in that same month. I said that I localised the NAME so that people who read the magazine would know a familiar face. That is called localisation. It is not the same as me stating that the ...

Hey Guys Apologies for the late reply - I wasn't ignoring you - I was away. Now on to answer your questions. Firstly I will tackle the Christo bit. Christo does 90% of all our open source reviews except for those that have international copy and if I changed Alec's name to Christo's name there is no...

HUGE apologies!! I know that on our cover it says that PCF comes with a CD-RW but that was a printing error which should have read CD-R. SORRY!!

The blank CD-RW is a gift from Golden Nest as an extra something with the 100th issue Glad you guys are enjoying it! It makes all that hard work worth it!!

Sadly within seconds the entire collection was bought at once. Sorry guys! If there are any more I'll let you know.

Or one person gets all for R1 500

Hey! My study has finally exploded from lack of room so I'm selling a whole bunch of games for pretty cool prices. If you want any of them then email me and we can finalise all details. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy R50 Half-Life R20 Sinbad: Legend of the seven seas R30 Scrabble 2005 R30 Might...

Ooooh boy!! Thanks for all the support guys :) Wizard I do respect your questions and the answer to the demo one is quite an easy one ;) Basically it falls across two categories. The first is that they often release the demo late and so we have no choice and the second is that even though it is late...

Slasher we are NOT copying NAG just because our DVD issue is coming out a month or two later than theirs did. I really don't see the big deal. We planned to launch it with our 100th issue ages ago, NAG launched first, good for them! You wonder why I can be "blatantly rude" well it's becaus...

Wizard please let this go, you are being really ridiculous. You sound like a conspiracy theorist. We planned it for the 100th issue. Deal with it.

HEY!! Sorry about the invisibility but we have been insanely busy finishing off the 100th issue and only now are we starting to breathe again. So here are your questions answered... 1. Jee was 100% correct regarding the price of the DVD and the fact that we kept throwing you off. It was meant to be ...

Well you guys can look forward to a complete, up to date, super E3 feature for our 100th issue because I'll be going over and writing about every delicious title that we can expect over the next 12 months. Yum.

EEEK! Those mistakes in the Power feature completely slipped by me. Not entirely sure what I was thinking - maybe it was really hot and my brain was all overheated. Erk. Apologies.
Cameron did spank me - ouch 8O

Proatt this is your last warning. Jee, like everyone else on these forums including you, has the right to have her say. She wasn't abusive or antagonistic towards you - she merely disagreed with you - so this does not justify name calling in any way whatsoever. This time she wasn't the one complaini...

Heya! We'll see what we can do about Proatt. Also re the game reviews - the last two months have been very thin in terms of new games. It's that time of the year unfortunately. We get all the latest releases from the distributors and then we review them so it isn't a lucky dip kinda thing. You'll en...

Two things :) Firstly I am sorry you feel the magazine isn't delivering what you want but we are closely following the ideas laid out in the PCF Ahead section. If you have any major concerns please PM me as I would hate to lose you! Also please feel free to post your ideas and suggestions in the sec...

OK so some of you (Jee, Lance etc) got the point and the others didn't. She is a cyborg i.e. she looks human 100% of the time unless she is doing maintenance which is what she is doing here. It ties in with the Power feature as she does tweaks on herself to optimise performance. And it wasn't done a...

well we definitely are not irritated by this - just wish we could say more
