that's almost a fair point mick, about alienating readers. but there was a time when magazines moved to CD only instead of floppies, and people said the same thing then.

there's no point in not having a DVD drive nowadays, you may aswell be prepared. better yet, get a DVD writer. they are really cheap now, cheaper than my first dual speed CDROM drive was back in the day.. backups are so much easier straight to DVD-R

A letter in this months issue asked about the DVD/alienating readers. They said so far they had 2 complaints.

If people stop buying the mag, why complain?
Seems pointless.
The complaint is in the reduction in circulation.

Yup, fair enough.

But, operating on a budget, there are other things that are way more vital. Know what I mean?
Need more RAM, need a new sound card...

A DVD writer is bottom of the stack of needs I'm afraid.

I don't have a DVD drive here in Greece either and while it wouldn't stop me from buying CM normally, when I saw it in a shop a couple of days ago I didn't buy it there and then as I usually do. I just thought 'well, I can get it tomorrow or something'. So i got a mag about retro games instead [it had a really cool Amiga emulator, all legal and stuff, on the CD coverdisc

Theyv'e probably gained more readers who favour DVDs than lost readers who don't

I stopped buying CM because of the DVD. Maybe some day I'll need a DVD writer, but I get by just fine with CD.

Anyway,I buy mags for the CD's. The last FM I got had layered drum samples. That pretty much made my set up complete.

I'm still pissed off that they moved to CD. Bring back the floppy.

I don't know guys.
Where I live (Phx US) CM magazine is $14.99 or $180 a year if you want to look at it that way.

A DVD-ROM is $19.99 and it's still $19.99 after a year of use.

Not to mention that the last 3 music programs that I purchased all came on DVD.
