A
Long Wait
Hello, I’m your subscriber in Sandakan, Sabah. I usually end up
getting the magazine a little late no thanks to Pos Malaysia but
last month was later than usual. Is there any way you think you
could get your magazine earlier to East Malaysians like myself?.
Harry Samin, Sandakan
We did
encounter a lot of hitches with last month’s issue and we do apologise
for the lateness. As to your experience getting your magazine
later than usual, try giving our circulation executive a ring
at the office or email her at circulation@ pcdc.com.my Give your
IC number and full name as well so we can properly check our records.
Glitches do happen and we apologise again, hopefully your subscription
will be on track from September onwards. Thanks again for your
support and readership. -ED

Malaysian
News?
I know that you call yourself a local magazine but from what I see,
you don’t carry much ‘local’ news as in local government directives,
local IT companies besides big names. If I wanted to just know about
what Intel or Apple is doing, I could just go to the Internet but
there is already very little local content to be found. Do you think
we could see a bit more Malaysian flavour in the magazine soon?
Steven Pang, Georgetown
To be honest,
we do carry local news when we have the space for it and we don’t
ignore significant local happenings which usually find some way
into the magazine though not necessarily in the columns you expect.We
interviewed local Open Source company Technodex in a piece on Open
Source last year and people like MIMOS who contribute a lot to research
and development in the IT get coverage as well. To somewhat appease
you, perhaps you could check out our piece on the last National
Information Technology Council Meeting (NITC) at Cyberjaya and the
resulting announcements. If you feel there are certain individuals
or endeavours that should be getting our notice, by all means drop
us a word and we will look into it. It’s feedback like this from
our readers that makes our job more enjoyable. Besides seeing you
at the PIKOM PC Fair of course. -ED

Contest
I appreciate the many contests you have every month but maybe you
could have different ones from the slogans? Perhaps a prize for
the most creative entry or for readers who want to show off their
creativity, maybe show off the entry in the magazine. Perhaps have
a digital art contest for readers to show off their artistic skills
and maybe even design a page for the magazine. It would be good
for students in multimedia like myself to get some experience in
designing for a magazine. Julia, Cyberjaya
That’s a
pretty interesting idea, actually and yes, it would be welcome to
have a change from our usual contests. Even I wonder how the more
persistent of our readers keep coming up with slogans to win stuff
but if you get gifts as cool as the ones we get in our movie contest
giveaways, I suppose everyone can find their inner muse. A graphic
art contest might be cool too as we believe in encouraging students
in colleges hence our Mobile Raiders project. -ED
