EDITORIAL INTRO FOR ISSUE 182

“We’re offering new subscribers a 1GB Flash drive featuring PDFs of the last 30 issues of .net”

I don’t usually use my welcome page to shamelessly plug the magazine, but this month is a little different, and with good reason.

Since we redesigned the magazine in 2006, putting a greater emphasis on web design and development, we’ve had people asking us for digital versions of our content. Until now we’ve been unable to oblige, but that’s about to change. As part of a fantastic subscription offer, we’re offering all new subscribers a 1GB Flash drive featuring PDFs of the last 30 issues of .net magazine. That’s as far back as issue 152! And you’ll still get the normal massive savings on the cover price into the bargain.
