I have been reading DIGIT since-it-was-CHIP dayz.... ALL those pre-DIGIT CHIPs + DIGITs till early 2004 are there wid me.

But now I occasionally buy DIGIT only as few special issues... sometimes also IC Chip .. becoz....

(i) DIGITs magazine content has been degrading continuously from 2004.

(ii) IC Chips Style and conventional Magazine layout suited me better rather than DIGIT *newer* clumsy layout.

(iii) Access to ULTRA FAST INTERNET (12.5 MBps MAX Theoritical).... minimizes the needs for these magazines AS WELL AS THESE ACCOMPANYING CD/DVDs... unless some SPECIAL CONTENT is provided.

(i) Maybe, but like I have said many times before, it has improved considerably of late. I don't know why no one seems to agree with me on this.
(ii)actually I agree on this one
(iii)I don't appreciate people associating the mag with the discs. That's really lame. The same people deify ****ing PCWorld too. :$ And the content is specific to DIGIT. For example, sure, you can get a ton of information on a topic on the net, but the approach to presenting that info is why I still buy DIGIT (and CHIP) rather than just look up stuff on the net.

I buy CHIP for its contents,, which are far more elaborate and intresting than Digit's...
Digit gives u a lot of contents in a single edition.. not exhaustive though...
Digit DVD Rocks..
and Fast track is like heaven's gift!!

Hi

I buy the following magazines every month. I am also a subscriber of 7 of them (I dont subscribe to Digit)

I would rate the magazines in the following order

1. PC-Quest/PC-World
2 Chip
3. Digit
4. Linux For You
5. Information Technology
6. Computer Active
7. Living Digital

I buy only Digit from the newstands because they do not provide the DVD case or Inlay cards to the subscribers. Also I am not hearing good about the subscription service.

I like Digit for the Disc Contents and the Presentation + also stand buyers get it on the 1st or even before.

Fast Track is something different and good.

At Rs.125/- and so many ads in the magazine. Digit can afford to give 2 DVDs a month. If PC World can afford to give a DL DVD @ Rs.100/- (Rs.60/- is an introductory offer) Digit can surely give 2 Single Layer DVDs at this price.

What say?
