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 we weren't in different parts of the country, I'd say we're married to the same person. :-)

Has anyone subscribed to this e-magazine?

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.

Chuck,

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.


Ruben

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


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

You get no argument there, however I have spoken to Mike as well and suggested he continue to publish both.

Is the electronic version downloadable or is it strictly "read online"?

If downloadable as a single file to read at our convenience without loging on, it makes it easy to keep the issues on a cd/dvd for future reference.

If only "read online", the print version would be preferred for me.

I, like Chuck and others had a subscription to the hard copy before it went to the email /pdf product. Personally I much prefer the magazine in the old format. I tend to see the e-mail while working and always plan on going back to read it later - never happens. I enjoy reading the other 4 or 5 hard copy magazines I get and will probably drop this all digital publication at some point. I really hate to drop it because I enjoyed reading it but in this format it does not work well with my current work/leisure style.

Did Mike have a response to that suggestion?

What a great way to keep customers. Definitely not.

Essentially David T is right. Mike is a great guy, but he very politically told me that they were going digital and they would be sorry to lose me.

For the remainder of my subscription I will try to make a concerted effort to embrace it and see how it goes. Recognition pro had always been one of my favorites.

Yes it is the advantage I see in it too.
