[[lokesh]]

Hmmm....some nice collections this time....., thanks for including PHP Designer 2005, and Empire earth 2.
I can't believe Winamp 5.08 is still not included.....and i don't know whether the Digit Software Archive is included or not.
And good thing is that you guys are givin us a lot of wallpapers....

[vysakh]

the softwares are good

u forgot the white papers so fast byte ???

hmm atlast you are giving chaos theory

[infernus]

Thanks for including Freedom Force: Third Reich and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Good to see some game videos back again.

[drgrudge]

Well, atleast this one is better than the previous month's DVD.

So much for palm! PowerDVD 5 is also a old version...

Looking forward for openoffice.org and those wallpapers...

[perk_bud]

It would have been better if u had included game trailers F.E.A.R, Pariah,S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl as every 1 is talking abt these games and i heard they r awesome unfortunately we cant view them on a dial up so plz include them in the future and also include some game music. :roll:

[Tech&ME]

Good one there and that was too fast. Better then March DVD.

[Santosh Halemani]

Yeah, I am hapy about e-books on linux and all the major programing. Thanks guys.

The softwares contents r good and what about winamp5.08 ?.Also the film and games and wallpapers too good. 8) .

Ok, will all those games run on my 256mb, 2ghz,32mn shared grh? :roll:

This is what I will like in April

Splinter Cell Chaos theory
Wallpapers & WindowBlinds skins
FL Studio 5.02
BeyondTV 3.5
OpenOffice.org 2.0 beta, for my linux friends
Linux from scratch e-book

[shwetanshu]

byte from next issue pls include some good tutorials from the TUTORIALS section in pdf format

[tuxfan]

I must say you guys are slowly but surely improving

But why give out a distro every month? Can you not concentrate on applications instead?

[FilledVoid]

Definitely like the e-books. Im sure Ill love Chaos Theory too.

[sudhir_mangla]

Some one from DIGIT :

please post the contents of CD's also .

is there 2cd's this time atleast

[abracadabra]

how could u guyz do digit readers a misery of putting Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) tool in the essential section. thiz amazes me becoz in your march 2005 issue you had paublished a excerpt from PC-Mag issue of feb 2005 saying that their reviewer telling that this tool itself is a spyware, and that it has some kind of contact with microsoft's site or should i say they have some valuable data collected from our machine and updated to their some kind of ---*** data server ***---.

[it_waaznt_me]

At last you include VMWare ..

[imcool]

Thanks for the palm software. Why have you stopped carrying old mags pdf's

[[lokesh]]

I think instead of including a Linux Distro each time...why not Digit improve a existing version of Linux [ just like PCQ Linux 2005] like including all the required plugins, tools..etc.. and give it out as Digit Linux 2005

[raj14]

Nice bundle, hope you guys don't LIE this time! U didn't included HL2 Demo in feb DVD. Yet you gave us a Link on the Disk:-@ can u guys include WWE Screensavers? You can download them from www.wwe.com, and some wallpapers of Halle berry and how about some video reviews of games like: GTA:SA, HL2 etc. Ciao bello

[ShekharPalash]

Its good collection this time... waiting for April....

[hitesh_hg]

I can't believe you missed out on Acrobat Professional Writer Tryout once again ..even after C*** had given it in March CD ... i am running to news-stand to buy it...

Hitesh Gupta

[raj14]

Yeah, CHIP's CD content is quite good. I m reading it since April 04. Sorry, Digit dudes. Don't worry you're content is also Good. Hurry, hitesh but you're surely gonna get surprised by the Cover Story.

[sudhir_mangla]

Why Digit is ignoring CD users.

I wants to know content of CD not DVD but no answer.


please tell me waht is stored on April CD

[raj14]

Good Point, but you know CDs are history; Sell you CD-Rom, and Buy a DVD/CD-RW they are really affordable.

[anup_sonnad]

this forum is gr8 .this forum has helped me lot of times ,but i dont think the magzine is not concentrating on the 64 bit OS .A lot of people have a 64 bit system but they have a 32 bit OS running on it,The world is evolving and so should we and i seriously think there should be a column on 64 bit OS(LINUX or WINXP 64) for a 64 bit system,i hope i will be able 2 see a column in the april issue& also i would be happy 2 have a 64 OS (XP 64 or LINUX) on the april DVD.

where is rise of natations - thrones an patriots
