Forget 3D gaming

2008-04-29T12:32:47+01:00

Your otherwise fine nostalgia-fest "History of PC Games" feature (PCW April 2008) barely mentioned the text games that were so popular in the early 80s. Back in the days when graphics cards were unknown, Ram was 640KB, operating systems and...

The birth of PCW

2008-04-29T12:31:53+01:00

Congratulation and thanks on the first class 30th anniversary issue of PCW, it looked absolutely great. Here are a few more facts on the early issues of PCW, which it seems are vague to many people. The first issue was...

Three cheers for Ada

2008-04-29T12:29:07+01:00

In the news article "German beats wartime Colossus on Nazi decrypt" (PCW April 2008), you describe how Joachim Schueth recently used his laptop to beat the replica Colossus at Bletchley Park - I suspect living nearer to the transmitter helped...

Has Asus missed a trick?

2008-04-29T12:28:20+01:00

It's not just me (a 50 year old ex-Z88 and Acorn Risc PC user), but also my wife (a 42 year old late adopter of home computing) who would like an Asus Eee PC and a Wii. However, whilse most...

Psion of the times

2008-04-29T12:27:35+01:00

I loved your April issue - all very nostalgic! When my young lad (now some 32 years old and with one and a half PhD's), first came home from his primary school talking about computers, I resolved to keep ahead...

In the frame

2008-04-29T12:26:36+01:00

I found your digital photo frame group test (PCW April 2008) very interesting, but I feel you have missed two important points. I have one of these picture frames which is very similar to the featured Cenomax, but without the...

History of computing

2008-04-29T12:25:11+01:00

From Pacman to Pentium (PCW April 2008) was excellent reading which brought back many Memories; I had completely forgotten about The Last One. I appreciate that the article was not intended to be a complete history of computing, but I...

A bad year for HD DVD

2008-02-28T16:48:46+00:00

It’s looking like a turbulent year for HD DVD, what with the Warner Bros’ announcement in January that it would exclusively back the rival Blu-ray format. It has also suffered from DVD rental giants Netflix and Blockbusters phasing out the...

Crackly lines

2008-02-28T16:47:59+00:00

I have had about 12 months of difficulty getting a totally reliable connection since I was switched to the ADSL Max service (up to 8Mbits/sec). In that time I found out that the crackly phone that had crackled for years...
