PCW in PDF?
I've been buying PCW most months since around 1999. I'm now 22, which means I've been buying it for more than 1/3 of my life - a scary thought indeed.
My problem is space, or rather a lack thereof. Eight years of magazines takes up a lot of shelf space and in the past year or so I've been going through my back issues and cutting out the stuff I want to keep.
Please, please, please could you make PCW available as a PDF?

PCW is available as PDFs on our annual compilation CDs, the latest of which (2007 issues) is now available from http://www.direct-pcw.co.uk. If you need it monthly, we do have a digital edition subscription provided via Zinio (www.zinio.co.uk). Although not PDF, Zinio is actually based on PDF and allows you to download and search issues (although not across your entire library as you can on the CD).

I was a subscriber for many years, and have only started buying PCW at the newsstand from the moment your subscription rates got much more expensive than the latter solution (for Belgian readers, at least). I, too, find it extremely difficult to find back what I'm looking for in my heap of paper, and the pcw site is not much easier : very often I can't manage to find the digital version of an article I've got in my hand, the only solution is then to google a sentence ! Don't you think it would be easier if we could see the contents page for each issue in pdf (just as it appeared in the magazine) and then access an article directly from there ? I can understand you're not willing to give free access to all that valuable material, but I am not really eager to pay for articles I've already duly bought ! Thank you for considering my request. You're such a precious resource for my courses (I'm a teacher in a technical college here in Belgium).
