I just finished perusing (I'm sure I spelled that wrong but my spell check isn't working) the new PL and a few things hit me whilst I was reading it.
It's gonna be a lot easier to reference comments by others. Now, instead of griping because my lazy ass doesn't like retyping others words, I can just copy and paste. Expect more "conversations" between Marlan and I.
Double columns bite. I'm guilty of this one too so I have to kick myself in the ass, but it's a bit of a pain to read down through a column and then scroll back up (especially when it's something that goes on for days...no dis to people who go on for days).
The old format never gave me a "encountered an error and has to close" message while I was on the shitter. It only happened once, but it's still annoying.
I talked to Seth about this one, but I encountered a potential problem the other day. I was loaning the last issue (the digital version) to a friend when he asked, "This doesn't have any viruses, does it?" I laughed it off but then thought about recruitment (that's what I try to do in my spare time) and whether or not I can convince someone that the disc we're sending them to look at won't eat their hard drive. I haven't come up with a good solution.
With the sweet bookmarking, it's much easier to skip exactly to where I wanna go. But that doesn't mean I skip over your cra---er, I mean, well written and insightful anecdotes.
I'm really liking the videos...a lot. A hella lot.
I know that some of this seems like nitpicking, but the conversation needs to start somewhere. So what does everyone else think about the new issue?
P.S., Big time kudos to Copy J and the crew for putting this together. The took an undesirable situation (from my standpoint anyway) and made some pretty sweet lemonade (y'know, that old "life hands you lemons" saw...)
