Computeractive Back Issue CD 2014 all 26 issues Library Binding – 28 Jan. 2015

These are great. Always originally thought I didn’t want to effectively have to pay again for the magazines as I always retained a few years of them to research reviews or articles to help with issues. However I now find these CD’s brilliant and well worth buying as it makes it so much easier to search and find the information and means I can recycle all the old magazines.

I have purchased the Computeractive Back Issue CD,s since 2008, but this is the first time via Amazon, it has up until now been through Computeractive. I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys this magazine as I do. It is full of information, and workshops etc.

Have not been happy with the last two issues of these discs. I had to complain to Dennis Publishing about how badly the search facility now works (or should I say doesn't). And was more or less told 'tough'. It's like that to keep the cost down. I found that when I clicked on a topic. Instead of the topic high lighting and the search going straight to the subject. The whole section highlighted and started on the first topic necessitating a long annoying scroll to find your subject. I've learned to deal with it and put up with it.

I subscribe to the magazine and I always saved them for reference. I find this CD a convenient and efficient way of saving and finding the information in the magazine and it takes up a lot less space than the 26 magazines. Well worth the money for the time saved not having to look through a pile of magazines to find an article or review, it's indexed so searching is

Not a substitute for the magazines because not quite so visually accessible, but, a good wide-ranging reference medium, nevertheless. Since the last editorial "facelift", the features, layout and content are immeasurably better, in terms of relevance, interest and usefulness. Having paid by subscription over many years for the magazines, I think it's too expensive. An increasing annual discount that reflects a subscriber's loyalty would be appreciated.

perfect way to store so much unfortunately unless there is an updated version it wont work on Win 10 so its either copy or lose it when my win 7 laptop bites the dust

High time Computer Active sold their CD library through Amazon, rather than the haphazard and clunky site they used before. Good to see all of 2014 on one disc, and handy to have. Although I have a subscription to the magazine I still buy the CD every year to allow me to recycle the mags and add the CD to my library. Long may it continue. :-)A good, down to earth, and practical computer magazine, for those who are not techie.

This is a useful way of keeping a years magazine content, without the bulk of saving magazines. Price delivery, and packaging all very good. As regards the CD. It could be improved by putting all the same type items in the same place to ease finding them, but I suppose that what make the product too expensive.
