tgo magazine live letters archive

Is it the Zinio system?

It is, JJ. I had to nip out just after posting before but I@m about to settle down and read it now. Looks ok so far :)

I have'nt even got the trial CD yet, appiled by e mail 15/10/05. Thought i might have left my address of of the e mail, but did'nt, perhaps it'll be in the post tommorrow!!

Zinio is a bit cool, the pages turn like in real life.

Well, almost ;o)
You can download the software from Zinio IIRC.

Will this new fangled system work on a Mac?

Yes, and what are we now to do when we run out of toilet paper !!

It seems great, so far. It's even possible to highlight bits, and/or add notes.

I've not read it all yet, but will return to it in the morning.

Recommended :-)

The Doctor:

The software should be pre-installed with Macs less than (I'd guess) a couple of years old... ironically it seems the Macs we use in the TGO office can't run it (they're pre 1870s models and the hard disc only runs at 78rpm)!

Peewiglet - please keep reporting on your progress!

John - get the tgo hamsters to pedal faster!

Makes em too tough to eat though

I've finished it now, and I'm very pleased with it. It's easy to read and to navigate; to zoom in on bits to make them clearer, and then to whizz back out to normal size. It's also possible to search the magazine for a single word (or maybe a phrase - I've not tried that yet), and it returns an answer quickly. Added to that, it's possible to add notes and highlighting to the text. Emails etc are all clickable links.

I like it a lot. I'm a bit disorganised sometimes with my paper copy - i.e. I sometimes lose it... - but this'll be a useful, searchable archive on my PC.

Well done TGO: this seems to me to be a great idea :-)

ah, I get it, December version comes in November..... ok, time to sign up.
