even though I buy the mag from a bookstore I always get it at 15% discount rate
Lucky you
The pages in Fast Track tends to stick with each other. Please correct that issue.
A few links in the upper corner of the mag - mini-news column or whatever you call it, aren't working just like it was in the previous issue. Please have a look in the matter.
Will look into this... the Fast Track might not be cut properly at times, and we'll try and minimise those errors. We call them "Snippets". Can you give me one example though, page number, or something... will look into it and see what went wrong.
Replicating a CD in 2001 and replicating 2 DVDs today would cost the same or there would be very less difference.
Can you provide a 160 page magazine and 1 DL DVD for Rs.100/- today?
By the way, I pre-ordered the issue on 28th Feb but has not received it. My house is 3 kms from Digits office
No they don't cost the same. 2 DL DVDs today are still more expensive.
No we could not provide 1 DL DVD and 160 page mag for Rs 55 today (Rs 100 cover price minus 45% margin to get it to you).
Write to me at robert . smith at 9dot9.in with the order number and CC help at thinkdigit.com also please. You should have received it by now, something must be wrong.
got it today and the magazine was not in good shape... some errors like repeating same thing again was there....
What was wrong with the mag? Was it torn or damaged? Would request readers who get such packages to click a pic on their cell phone, and mail to our help desk so we can take the couriers to task.
What was repeated?
------------------ From here on this reply is from me as an individual forum member, and not on behalf of Digit ------------------
I am not a school going kid, so don't pose me and my parents in between this discussion. School was never HORRIBLE for me or my parents.
You go change your job, become a Principal in a NEW SCHOOL with all modern facilities and all. RUN it for 1 year and you will get the inside story!!
It is easy to say all schools fills up the seats, practicality is far from your eyes.
You will never understand it, until you yourself face it.
You are in Digit from a long time, your mind is engraved with all things tech. There is a world outside to explore and to learn....... things are always not in the same way we except them to be always.
There are HARD truth for you to discover and see and learn.
I should clarify that I use "You" in my posts (and editorials) to address everyone in general. It's a style of writing, and that "You or your parents" meant "people or their parents". My apologies, was not trying to point a finger at either you or your parents in particular. It was meant to be a generalization, for people who were not happy with their schools...
However, now, I will address
you (Tech&ME) in what follows, since all of the questions and comments in your last post addressed me personally, and not Digit in general:
I come from a family of teachers and principals, and members of Team Digit (my colleagues) interact with students, teachers and principals on a regular basis. We're all exposed to a lot more than
you would believe. What experiences exactly are
your realizations of this "hard truth" based on?
You are yelling like you paid out the money from your OWN pocket to get us those movies for FREE..... how cheap this sounds..... isn't it ??
Don't make yourself sound like you did something extraordinary !!
And on top of it your CLARIFICATION above is just the FUN part.... as if we didn't knew what you guys had actually paid for the MOVIE.
End of the day the movie was actually SPONSORED at a lower price [ Rs 20 or Rs25 / DVD ] to you people, that was what my original comment was..... isn't it ??
So, why so YELLING about a simple matter ??
Wow. Stop being so touchy! Seriously. All I am trying to do is clarify and remove any misconceptions
you have.
Believe me:
- No one is yelling at you.
- I represent Digit here, so yes I use the words "we" to refer to the people who have, do and will been a part of this magazine. Until this post, nothing I said was meant to be construed as something "I" did, it was always what "we" did, or why "we" did it.
As for the rest of your post:
First
you suggested...
5. Digit used to give FREEBIES like Movie DVD/CDs earlier, can't you get sponsors for this kind things and support the cost of the magazine.
Then after I replied,
you said:
OH ! really !! that was too bad a marketing strategy!!
I never knew that, so basically you buy a Rs. 100 movie DVD and give it free with the cover price of the magazine as Rs 150 ??
u guys just made a Rs 20/- or 30/- profit margin on each mag...
so, u guys were so nice to do charity giving those movies, ya!!
Which gave me the impression that
you thought the following:
- The movie makers paid us to provide their movies.
- That DVD movies cost us Rs. 100
- The entire Rs 150 comes back to Digit.
- We're lying about something (The sarcastic comment about "Charity" above)
I don't know if I misread
your posts, or didn't catch some form of sarcasm that
you wanted to imply, but I genuinely thought
you felt that we got all of those "gifts" we gave away (movies or otherwise) for free... In fact it actually came across as a suggestion by
you to
make more money by doing that more often!
All I'm trying to do in this thread is remove any misconceptions
you or anyone else might have about how some things work at Digit.
------------------ Back to posting on behalf of Digit | And "You" means everyone again ------------------
There's no reason for anyone on this forum to lose their tempers, make snide comments or be sarcastic. If you want to know how something works, ask, and we'll be happy to explain as best we can.
The whole point of this feedback forum is to get people to come here and be honest, tell us what they think, point out when we screw up, and give us the opportunity to apologise for our errors, fix them, improve, and as a result offer you an even better product than we did before. It's all in the public domain, easily accessible to anyone who wants to read it.
You need to appreciate that feedback is a two way street.
People tell us what's wrong, we fix it, they tell us what's right, we try and do more of it.
However, if their thinking itself is wrong, and they post suggestions here that are founded on miscalculations or misinformation, obviously someone is going to correct them. Why? Because we do not want such misinformation becoming a common misconception to everyone who browses the thread.
There's nothing implied by those corrections, so please don't take it personally!
