[vysakh]

great work by TEAM DIGIT

Ok this is a defenative buy, What I like is

Mandrake 10.1 Yahooo

My Luna HoE (high on efficiency) is finally getting some consdaration, now more people can use it

Flatout, finnaly, without broadband

Virtual PC, Digit I luv U

[kaysquare]

(Team digit) byte,

Thanks a lot for mandrake and other stuff.

[QuickFire]

Yep!!
WHERE IS HALF-LIFE 2 DEMO??

[babumuchhala]

Finally a Processor + Mobo Review.

I am gonna buy this definately

[vignesh]

Great compilation I should say.hip hip hoorah! to Digit

[saketkutta]

Yeah Man wheres the HALF LIFE 2 DEMO
You know most of the poeple use Win 98 now also like me.
AND DIGIT HAS NOT INCLUDED ANY THEMES FOR WIN 98. Plus the style XP does not even work in my XP whenever i install it . It says your win XP is 2600 and style XP is not supported but it works in my frens even he installedfrom my XP CD.

Anyways will not try any games as my PC does not support and will try Mandrake 10.1 as I liked its predecessor 8.2 given by DIGIT a long time ago.
Anyways thanx for all the things. The mag reaches KTM on 10th of each month

will edit later when i get the mag. I hope the price is still Rs 160 NC

Thank You BYTE I will hope tht you include the games that I have posted in BY DEMAND MARCH as they work on my PC

[Prashray]

The Feb. issue is good.

[gamefreak14]

150 WALLPAPERS!! THANKS, BYTE!!!
and the 2 page review (with words) ROFLMAO!!

[kunwar]

please reply this message

many gamers are WAITING for hl2 demo in dvd

[karthik_rcs]

Great collection

Operating System
Linux -Mandrake
Wallpapers, themes music and games -Gud
Smartdraw
Virtual CD

Thank you Digit Team . Keep up the Good work.

I request you give some movies / some CBT material like things.
CBT can be developed by your team or it can be third party vendors.
If it is going to be yours , then it will little cost effective. This is just a suggestion from my side.

Your Magazine should portray not only the recent technologies changes , upcoming revolutions in the industry. but also to help the young minds to define their career towards this industry.

I hope the DIGIT will help the young developers to develop their skills technically and functionally.

ALL THE BEST
Karthik

[rakee]

WOW man digit is rocking again and again...woow...MANDRAKE 10.1...that makes digit the true emperor of tech mag...whatever it is linux or windows or anything.

[tuxfan]

Looks good. Lets see when the issue comes. I usually get it very quickly. So I am expecting it on Tuesday/Wednesday

[vignesh]

You could have also added Acrobat reader 7.0 .

[Byte]

Half-Life 2 Demo

I had to remove this at the 11th hour, quite literally. Reason being that the demo would not install properly. I tried three different sources, same result - Steam would crash after installing about 3 GB of the game. Suffice to say, as soon as we get a proper EXE file, one that installs, we will ship it on the DVD.

[Sourabh]

firstly i wod trust something only when i get the feb issue in my hands

i dun care abt the HL2 Demo

@ techno

the cover has a SPIDERMAN , hope it suffices to ur fantasies

man wht do u mean by POP WW review with words

its a professional mag, atleast i dint expect someone from the DIGIT team itself saying such a thing

besides only time will tell whether the mobo+ proccy review this month is worth enuf or its gonna be the same as like the opening 2005 jan issue graphic card review

plain crap and wrong info

hopefully i ll get the mag today

fingers crossed
