Advantages: non

Disadvantages: to pricey

Like many of you I am an avid computer magazine reader. I can’t resist when out shopping in town popping in to WH Smiths and you can usually bet I will come out with a pc mag or two.

The problem is though the price of theses magazines, why are they so expensive to buy?

I don’t have a great deal of disposable income to play with and I have to juggle the pennies if I want to buy more than one.

At £4.99 for many of the run of the mill mags I think that this price is with out doubt extortionate. Don’t the publishers make enough on the advertising in these mags to keep the price down, I mean lets be fair there are enough of the dam adverts in them and all selling the same product only differing brands.

Its not as though these £4.99 reads are any better than the £1.20 computer active charge, and in my humble opinion Computer Active is a much more informative read.

But while Joe public with money burning a hole in his pocket continue to pay these hipped prices, students, un-employed, and low income brackets will have to continue to juggle there dosh so has to educate themselves in the ever changing world of Personal Computing.
