Computer Buyer Isssue 308
I’ve recently contributed another article to Computer Active magazine. This one is a ‘Masterclass’ on CSS. In reality it’s very much a beginners guide to the subject, written in layman’s terms. If you’ve ever wondered just how on earth CSS works, head over and pick up issue 308 (10-23 December) now.
If you want to know how to save the routes you travel on your TomTom, or how to add GPS information to your photos, these subjects and many other things GPS related are covered in a lengthy article I’ve just written for Computer Active magazine.
It’s the issue on sale today and the article is called ‘Location, Location, Location’. If you’ve missed it in the shops, keep an eye out over on the Computer Active site as they eventually upload all the features there.
I’ve written a short review of the new 2009 iMac which has been published in the current Computer Active magazine.
Interested parties can read Ben Frain’s 2009 20″ iMac review on the Computer Active website. In summary, whilst I’m still a massive fan of the iMac this latest version with its associated price hike makes it more difficult than normal to recommend…
I would also add here that you can still get the older 2008 model from Apple’s refurb store. It’s arguably a better buy than the current model (despite it being shipped in a brown box so resale value will perhaps be a little lower) so I’d recommend people consider a refurb 2008 model instead if they want to save the pennies.
However, if you’ve been considering a Mac, these are still cracking machines and still likely to provide a lower total cost of ownership compared to a PC*
I’ve not written for Computer Active before and as the UK’s best selling computer magazine I was pretty excited when I got the chance to do so. If you pick up the current issue my first feature for them begins on page 30 titled ‘Windows Pick Me Ups: Just the tonic’. The feature covers quick and easy ways to perform some house keeping on your Windows XP/Vista machine and hopefully speed things up.
I hope to provide more copy for Computer Active in the future. It’s a title I enjoy the slant of. It’s accessible but also provides genuinely interesting stuff in each issue to get the best out of a system.
