NO CD's. Please understand that I have been a subscriber to Maximum PC Magazine for YEARS. So imagine my excitement when I saw this offer. YOU ARE BETTER OFF JUST ORDERING IT DIRECT FROM MAXIMUM PC.
BTW AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION OUTRIGHT. DO NOT DO IT. I WANTED BOTH. IF I JUST WANTED THE MAGAZINE I COULD HAVE JUST DOWNLOADED THE FREE PDF'S THAT MAXIMUM PC MAKES AVAILABLE ON THERE WEBSITE.
That was incredible. per month for the CDs but the biggest kick in the rear end, is that I could only get 10 of the CDs now, because I had the first issue and the second issue was too close to shipping. I think it is probably one of the most entertaining Tech Magazines available, and the Disks that come with this little gem are absolutely packed full of the best freeware/shareware available anywhere. Upon calling Maximum PC they said it would be another [.].
I ordered this and found out that this is the PRINT ONLY edition. 12 issues of Maximum PC with what I assumed had to be the CDs because of the cover price listed and the savings. NO it wasn't.
This is probably not for the casual occasional PC user but more for the person that isn't afraid to "open the box. I think any computer geek would get something out of each issue. This magazine makes a good addition to my PC World Magazine. They seem more devoted to the high tech then the daily "tweaking" but they do a pretty good job of filling a magazine.
I found out that was not the case. Make sure you make it clear that the listing says without Discs. I thought I would be getting discs with my magazines.
Good to find out what the others are doing and using and what bugs (or not) they are running into and how to deal with matters. Great Mag. Very informative with useful articles on computers and software and the latest and greatest out there.
IF SO, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED AS SUCH IN THE AMAZON DESCRIPTION. THIS OCCURRED WITH MY LAST RENEWAL AS WELL. MAXIMUMPC IS MY ONLY PC MAG AT PRESENT; IT HAS EVERYTHING I AM INTERESTED IN: NEW PRODUCTS, PRODUCT EVAL AND COMPARISONS, AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES. SUCH INFORMATION GOVERNS WHETHER OR NOT I AM WILLING TO GIVE UP A FEATURE FOR A DOLLAR SAVINGS; I RESENT NOT HAVING SUCH A CHOICE. PERHAPS THE PUBLISHERS OF MAXIMUMPC ARE PLAYING THIS GAME. HOWEVER, I RECEIVED MY FIRST MAGAZINW SANS CD-ROM; I ENJOY THESE FOR THE DRIVER UPDATES AND UTILITIES. DO THE DISCOUNTED SUBSCRIPTIONS COME WITHOUT THE CDs.
