Hi David,
I'm a subscriber/member of CorelDrawPro, and I like it.
I also like the fact that they keep you updated in different trends of different industry's as it develops.
They also are a good source of info of providers, the section of tips and tricks etc. this areas are still growing but is looking good

Where would you go to get to the first message in this thread that was 4 months ago?? Now I am confused...
I went to the link Identified by David
Where did you not go?
http://www.coreldrawpro.com/Library/CP-1006.pdf
Was the link, I think. >.<

David,
Now that I have a laptop and a wireless network at home, I am much more inclined to subscribe to e-books of interest. Prior to using this technology, it would be a definite no for me.
Nothing beats sitting back, kicking up the feet, and reading a good ol' printed book or trade magazine. The flexibility that new technology is offering makes e-books an attractive option.

I do subscribe to this e-zine, but I don't like NOT having it in print. I usually read them at home or when I travel.............. I don't have time to sit at my computer to read things like that - but on the other hand, with the links available on-line, it is a wealth of information.
Good thing / Bad thing I guess....................

I apologize. I came across the latent thread, while looking for something else and got curious as to if anyone was subscribing.
I should have included the link in my second post, knowing the first post wouldn't be visible to those who had read it months ago. :-$

Thank you for that review.
I see you made it home from Vegas in one piece. It was nice hanging out with you again.
I'm getting a lot more sleep, now that I'm back in California. :-)

The first message in the thread is dated Oct 4 - it had the link to the e-magazine.
The message I replied to is dated Feb 28..................... and did not have a link in it.
That makes 4+ months.
I did not realize the 2nd message was referring to the October message. I took it as a new subject. :B

You're Welcome David.
David, yea it was nice hanging out with you also, I had a great time.
I feel sorry for you since you haven't got much sleep the night before,
but I did not want to let go the opportunity of hanging out with you again :D
Yes David, fortunately I did make it in one piece, well I said that I will sleep for some minutes before I took off, well those minutes turn out to be hours, any way it was Sunday and I was still feeling the Vegas effects back in California, maybe We need to do it more often to get used to it. >.<
I'm glad that you're recovering. :D

Either that, or quit altogether, which doesn't sound like much fun. :-)

You've got a deal. I don't think I could survive that much fun, more than once a year.
See you then, if not before. :-)

No problem,
I just did not think to look at the message number as I had caught up all messages before leaving for Vegas and then I saw this and thought it was a totaly new thread...............
My other half always says I am wired a little differently and think down a different stream than everyone else.... I guess this was one of those times. :/

If so, what's your impression?
David,
I have a subscrition to it due to having a subscription to the hard copy version.
It is pretty much the same excellent content with some links added. I have always enjoyed it when it was Recognition Pro.
Sadly *MY* reading style does not lend itsself to electronic format so I probably will not renew. I like to be able to walk away from the computer from time to time....and I like the tactile feel of a magazine in my hand...sometimes I like to sit in the jacuzzi with a drink and read...something I cannot do with my computer...I also tend to read more in the "library" but again, I'm not taking my computer "there" either.

We're getting some good feeback here. I spoke to Mike Neer at the ARA show and commended him for being, what I see as, ahead of the curve.
I suspect us "old timers" prefer a hard copy of the magazine, but judging by what I'm seeing of the youngsters, they're hyper-connected and would prefer to get their info online.
We'll see.

Chuck,
I also start with them when they used to be Recognition Pro, and like you
I like to take a hard copy with me to read, what I do now if there is an article or whatever there is of interest I print out just those pages,
since there is an option of just printing the pages you want in Adobe Reader.
Now in positive side of being electronic, one is that I have less crowded desk or shelfs with Mags/Catalogs, another is, they are easier to find and organize.
I already renew with them.

WHY am I GLAD I missed that part of the party?
