Online reading is also expensive as long periods of computer activity
mean big electricity bills. Everyone won't use a lappy.
One point we did not raise was the intended reach of a linux magazine.
If linux is touted as a peoples' operating system then its magazine
should be accessible to the people not just the elite. Bandwidth costs
are still high enough to restrict direct downloads of CDs and DVDs at
will. We have just begun, to stop looking at the time counter to
disconnect the net connection. Therefore a magazine with bundled
CDs/DVDs is a must for the software to spread across the entire user
base. Technology alone will be of little use if it does not reach the
people.
