Future direction of Magazines

I find this interesting. The price is right…

How am I supposed to read that at lunchtime?

I have a Mac.

At lunch sometimes I’ll have a Big Mac too :lol:

Lunch time is a easy one. How am I going to get the computer in to the bath room?

Finally, some photos of Tom Miller’s railroad that do the size of that thing justice! I wish they were clickable links to hi-res versions of the shots so we could really see them in detail.

I’m loving that concept. I think the graphic design is a bit busy for my tastes, but the concept is fantastic! I wish them luck. Volume 1, number 1 is the easy issue. I’ll definitely be checking back, though. I love the room they’re able to give complex issues like curve radii and couplers.

People are going to have to link their pc up with their laptop, so they can read while on the "“throne”

Bruce, thanks for the link…

Did you download the super large 100% active content version. I didn't since I don't have (or want) Reader 9. It might just have what you want. This assumes your a PC. The link says not for Mac or Linus.

I agree. In fact, wading through the assault of super busy ads at the front actually kept me from reading any of the serious content.

I’ll give it another try a when I have more time to kill.

Very cool, thanks for the link. I shall print it out on high quality paper and leave it in the ‘water closet’ for ‘recreational reading’. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the link!

But then you loose all of the active content - videos and such! Better to install wireless and take the laptop along to the loo :smiley:

Most every one I know (except me) has WiFi installed in their homes now. I’m waiting until after the remodel this year on the house.

Carry the laptop everywhere in the house.

Not only is that the future of paper magazines, newspapers are doing the same thing.

It is a thing of the future. At least the trees are going “whew, about time.” :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I’m on a Mac, so I didn’t download the “super-duper” version. The non-super-duper version let me link from the ads to the manufacturer website (a cool feature), so there’s no reason they couldn’t do that with hi-res photos, either. I used Acrobat Professional 7 to view it (it’s the full program, not just the reader).

WiFi to me, is 4 letters that makes up no word… I have no idea what it even means…

<<I didn’t since I don’t have (or want) Reader 9>>

Is there something we don’t know about that is wrong with adobe 9?

Now how would I explain that one to the wife?

Give a whole new meaning to the phrase “data dump”. :smiley:

No. I just continually have problems with the way my computer handles PDF documents. I installed Adobe Creative Suite which includes Acrobat CS, but then someone installed Acrobat Reader and screwed up the program linkage. I finally fixed it and don’t want to break it again.

Oh, I’m someone else you know that doesn’t have WiFi. No real need or interest in having it. Wired networks are generally much faster.

Andy- Don’t worry. You don’t need to know :smiley:

I called my lovely bride, “wifi,” once. I won’t ever do that again. :stuck_out_tongue:

My wife was tired of the Cat5 strung from the office to the “library”. Hard wired both bathrooms, put in a shelf and took one of my rebult PC’s and set it up. Flat panel, wireless keyboard with touch pad. Just sit back and enjoy…

It is good to have a lap top computer with WiFi in Australia.

McDonalds offer free WiFi access at many of their “restaurants” up and down the highways.
Not very fast at 13mbs but very handy for internet access when travelling.
Supposedly up to 50 Megabits of data allowed.

I have 3 computers in my den. Laptop on WiFi in the living room and another desktop in the bedroom. I think if I installed a computer in the bathroom, my wife would be packing my bags :) Ralph
