[Preview + Feedback] Digit June 2008 - 7th Anniversary Issue

[rhitwick]

Hi guys,

In this thread I c many people bashing Digit very badly.............plz lets not do that.........

I've read all the posts in this thread and found that nobody is satisfied with DVD contents........can I dare to define NOBODY???
NOBODY->Those who are having access to Internet with good download speed, they will always have those S/W distributions earlier than any mag DVD distro. The DVD contents are still useful to those offline Digit readers. Don't u think so??

I'm supporting Digit as I simply love it in any form. I'm with it for the last 6 yrs. I am very much thankful to them for making me such tech-hungry. Every tech vocabulary, brand names even trying other tech mags also their contribution. Plz don't judge Digit only on its DVD contents; the s/w distros wil be same for any mag distro for a month that to 80%-90%. Its d mag contents that makes our Digit unique.

I can proudly say that I love Digit and will support it though I've not yet received my subscriber's copy for d month.

Plz gys isbar ke liye maaf kar do...........galti to sabse hi hoti hai ..........hai na??

^^The reason is the quality that Digit provided to readers at a time and it was the undisputed leader in the market. Readers are surely going to complain when there is so much fall in quality.

Digit provides pdf version of its issues periodically. If you have missed it now, you may get them in the next special issue.

Subscribers get magazine late. It comes first to retail stands and then to subscribers. Wait for 5-6 more days.

Please ahdere to the forum rules.

As for the feedback, positive or negative, we're listening to it all. We were delayed a bit this month due to unavoidable circumstances. We'll try and get things back on track so that you guys don't have to wait too long.

Review

Digit – June 2008 Anniversary Special Edition

Magazine: As expected, the magazine is just 136 pages with quite a number of ads. The ads are fine but Digit should have at least added some more articles and made it a 200 page book. I did go through a few articles and stories, some are good and some are average. The paper quality is not as good as the earlier issues.

Caution: Please keep a pair of scissors handy to cut out the pages like I had to do, as they were stuck, possibly some binding or cutting problem.

Jumbo Fast Tracks: The six so called Jumbo are between 14 and 22 pages each. The fast tracks end before you even begin reading them. Out of the little number of pages, you have small ads on almost all the pages plus full page ads too.

The DVDs

DVD 1: 250 Freeware: - Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 7.10 Training Courseware are the only main things I would look forward to on this DVD. The other software on the disc is just average and not of much use for me. I don’t know if others would like them as well.

DVD 2: Special: - The only thing I liked about this DVD is the Digit and Fast Track archives in PDF format. The movies are not all worth it, its just a filler and its quite clear.

In Brief

Positive

+ A few good articles
+ Windows XP SP 3, Ubuntu Training material and Digit and Fast track in PDF

Negative

- Not at all worth the price tag of Rs.200/-
- NO DVD case for the DVDs
- Filled with movies that no one would bother to watch
- Bulky packing of newsstand copies


The Calculation

Regular Issue – Around 150 Pages
Special Issue – 136 pages

Regular Issue – more articles less ads as compared to Special issue
Special Issue – more ads than regular issue, less contents

Regular Issue – One Fast Track with around 180 to 200 pages
Special Issue – Six 20 page fast tracks with ads (A4 size), in color, can be considered equal to one regular fast track only, because of the quantity of contents

Regular Issue – One Dual Layer DVD + One CD + DVD Case + DVD Inlay Card
Special Issue – Two DL DVDs only

In short, if we see, we have not got anything extra for the Rs.75/- we have paid extra for the magazine except the long wait.

well said and good analysis
