Anybody subscribe to macworld?

Morning all,

Does anybody subscribe to macworld? I picked up April's copy and found it quite interesting...

I remember a while ago there was a 'Which mac mag do you read' thread, but I can't seem to find it!

I only ask, as the subscription deal is pretty good value and I'm thinking of taking the plunge..

Are there any decent alternatives out there?? Although I enjoy reading online magazines, I've started to taking girly baths (blame the sorta gf) and dont want to risk my computer joining me in the soapy goodness - so a paper copy would be preferable!

Cheers,

Tom

ps.. if someone finds the previous thread and wants to point me in the right direction that would be kewl

Cheers Chaps,

Is macuser the bi-monthly one?

I might try and pick up the latest copy at lunch

Yeah, it's bi-monthly.

More up to date, and cheaper than MacFormat/MacWorld.

Cheers - I'll definitely go and have a look at lunch!

I know, just teasing.

I like the tips n tricks section or the Q&A sections in the magazine(s), they're usually either a good laugh, or they're goldmines of useful information.

For example, ctrl+alt+cmd+eject = epic shutdown.

Epic Shutdown?! Sounds interesting...

Is this a 'try it and see what happens'? or 'try it and be prepared to spend much dollar!?'

The cost will depend on what important documents you have open at the time...

I may leave that one alone then... I've just heard a voice in my head..."Step away from the keyboard!"

The idiotic child in me, however, says do it...

Hmm!

It just powers off instantly. Akin to pulling the plug

Oh well thats ruined it, I imagined all kinds of things... Steve Jobs appearing on the screen, all Demon Headmasterlike.. Shame really that would have been kewl!

Cheers dude!

Tom

 

[itsallaboutyou]

Do it anyway. PLEASE

Well i'll have a few guinness' now - so we'll see what happens!

slightly off topic...

Going slightly off topic here folks - does anybody know a decent book charting the history of apple.

I've exhausted the wikipedia articles!

I'd also recommend Pirates of Silicon Valley... actually not a bad filum, considering it was a 'Movie of the week!'
