[Preview + Feedback] June 2007 Anniversary Special

[rajivnedungadi]

why you doubt, when it is possible for other mags in 100 bucks, here its still 125

It was possible for Digit to give a DL DVD each month but they never did it. I do have doubt about Digit because people dont have much trust left in them...take this example....The Digit Patron program was about to be re-launched on 14th Feb but it was never done...

Great especially the do it yourself section had been along pending request of mine and especially because it helps us geeks to have a more hands on appproach to technology.Whoa now a dual layer dvd every month and thanks for the webaroo pack and the student mit pack.Also a good inclusion are the automobile wallpapers.Although you could have included another distro of linux instead of ubuntu which as it is can be delivered to your home by just filling an online form free of cost.Just got a 3 cd pack today that includes 2 32 bit versions and a 64 bit one.The best digit issue yet.

Where is Digit Patron?

 

[clmlbx]

Contents Of Mag Are Superb

It's Two Dvd's And Cd Or 1 Dvd And Cd

I Guess Digit Has Most Probably Added Don In That Dual Layer Dvd .

So It Is 1 Dl Dvd And 1 Cd

4 Charli Chaplin Episodes

I Redeemed It Not Good For Anniversary Issue .

Fast Track On Vista, U Should Have Given Fast Track On Some Languages Like C#, Java

1 GOOD THING NOW ON DL-DVD'S

 

[hsnayvid]

looks good... hope subscribers get their issue in time!

As per this image - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=817&d=1178379016...it is 3 DVDs + 1 CD

 

[FatBeing]

That image is a bit misleading... the DVD that is bootable with the single-CD distro is the same dual-layer DVD.

Also, the mag's price will remain the same (Rs 125) next month and beyond.

So it is 2 DVDs and 1 CD right?

misleading....yes thats the right word. when people in another section (Chit Chat) were saying that its 3 DVDs and a CD, why did no one from Digit bother to correct the same?

Its a big disappointment

So for this month, its just the Don DVD, which no one wants, extra for the extra Rs.75/- people pay....too bad

Plus the Office 2007 trial is also something that no one needs as MS might have shipped atleast 2 copies to each Indian...

 

[~Phenom~]

^^agree.

 

[Gigacore]

finally digit is back on the track. good contents!

 

[kaustav_geek]

why you doubt, when it is possible for other mags in 100 bucks, here its still 125

What about the fast track dear? Do any of the mags give away a goodie like fast track. Digit rocks this time... If this is the sight we'll see in the future too, then my loyalties will shift again towards digit after a brief stint of wavering from it..

yep agree with you,and its not necessary to have fast track print version it could included in the media as pdf, and reduce the price to 100/-.

^^^
Wrongo dude. The point of having a fast track in print is that you can always have it as a ready reference for specialised topics . Had it been a soft copy, the very utility and purpose of its being handy would be nullified.

[karmanya]

guys stop complaining. these are the best contents i have ever seen on digit dvd/cd
now we know why they were so busy in may. im counting it as a sorta bday gift. my day's on the 9th of june

 

[soham]

Finally digit has stood up to its name. Great content on both Mag, CD and DVD.Its better to give just give one DL-DVD than a heap of cds. Great going guys. Photoshop CS3 trial still missing. please provide it next time round since its a very big download. Just one question - Are you guys ever going to restart the Digit patron scheme which was supposed to restart way back in february.

Does the DVDs of the June issue have Proper Inlay Cards and DVD Cases atleast?
