Liikes and dislikes

Bring back the old format of free but useful programs.
I find the new videos simplistic and of little use. They are pitched at the wrong level for the readership who are generally well informed PC users in my experience.
If you want to keep this format then do something in depth. How about putting the "how to" section of the magazine on to video instead. For example the printed article on "Audacity" would work well on video disk as you would be able to hear and see the result of a particular feature of the program. The same for the Gimp where you would be able see the effect of a filter or what you can achieve with layers.

Isitme - 13 September 2008 - 9:15pmI think you will find, if you read through some of the posts, that PCA is now aimed at a PC illiterate market and not the intermediate/skilled users it was before. You can tell that by the large printing and brightly coloured pictures, just like you get in kindergarten books.
