I think you've hit the nail on the head Jean Those are the things that need to go in the mag. Although one section you mention will be very thin book reviews not many books on openoffice but we will review the ones that are published If I can get hold of A copy of the books or if some-one else writes a review. Yes I have the latest version of FullCircle in landscape and you are right it is better for reading on the screen. There definately seems to be enough enthusiasm about this project so next week I will start on the art work for the mag.
