Have just finished reading Issue 2 of MagBytes and even though I am a Mac user from way back when you were able to provide me with lots of little tips I didn't know about. Thanks for a great read.

What a fantastic mag you publish, so full of great interesting articles from which I am learning so much. I would surely pay a sub for this but a great bonus it is being free. As for display on screen or printing, I have no problems at all, on screen view is crystal clear in preview and printing is great. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this marvelous magazine.
