The mags are supposed to be in stores during the third week of the month, but they ended up being a little early this time. I am still trying to discover why this happens and will let you know. I think I should move it to the last week of the month if everyone is cool with that? As for subscribers, they should have had theirs already as soon as the SAPO employees have finnished installing your demos :shock:

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

OK so I peeked.
Only one pic of the new 'Lara' inside :? What a waste.

Nab - your back page is spot on. How's about an article about hardware distributors and their 'rules' for lending out hardware for reviews. PRINT who refrains from being part of the process. I'm looking to buy a decent HD display. What do they have to hide?

Sup all, I will be out of action till next week but here's some info about some of the issues. The publishers moved PCF forward because T3 hit shelves at the same time. I have reversed this and so PCF will now hit shelves close to the end of the month - subscribers will remain in the middle of the month (SAPOO dependent of course.)

There will be 1000 free internets for the hman for guessing the cover

doo_much - there are more pics of her on the disc (oh yeah!). Regarding the distributors who mess us about - that's an ethics minefield but I have been playing with an angle for some time.

Prime - KB has paid dearly for that little analogy :twisted:. In all fairness he is still finding his feet and I would prefer him to have a bit of freedom and identity rather than stifle his fresh writing skills. He is coming along nicely and is learning very quickly, so I would ask that a little lame metaphor here and there be tolerated for a while.

Otherwise, I will catch you all next week! :mrgreen:

Hey everyone

I too will be out of action for the next few days.

Will pop on now and again but otherwise consider me AFK permanently.

Regards

What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Dae, I think you need to spend every day in the office with KB before they'll give you that coveted staff tag...
A hefty price.
