WebUser 2017 Back Issues Disc Library Binding – 5 Feb. 2018

At last, finally, Web User has got a Back Issue CD! I've subscribed to its 'sister' title Computeractive for years, and always bought its Back Issue CD for every year. I've been subscribing to Web User for the past 3 years, and while it's a great mag, I never really understood why they didn't do their own CD. I'm glad it's here. It contains every issue from 2014, which means lots of interesting articles and tips. There's a bonus 6 issues from early 2015 too....so that's 33 issues for £15 (although I only paid £12). Not bad value at all. And the wife is happy because I can now chuck my leaning tower of magazines that she keeps tripping over!!

System Requirements; Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and 10.Mac; Mac OS X v10.2.8 or later.Requires Adobe Reader 7 - link from the homepage of the disc.Startup; simply insert the disc and you should see the homepage open up - instructions/help are included.Contains all 27 issues, 335-361, of WebUser for 2014 plus free bonus issues from Jan - March 2015.It's nice to be able to ditch a huge pile of old magazines and replace them with a single disc. I did the same thing recently with my back issues,of Computer Active 2013 and 2014 which cleared plenty of shelf space and provided me with much easier, immediate, access to the articles I'm interested in. Now it's just a case of typing into a search bar and selecting from a menu. There's a lot of information here. Every article from the 2014 issues is included on the disc and appears to be complete. Just as it was printed in the magazine. Easy to use, simple to navigate around and a really good idea especially for people with limited storage space. Recommended.

First of all, I wondered what "Library Binding" was. It turned out to be a straightforward cardboard sleeve, but that was fine - I was just curious to know.The disc contains all 26 issues in pdf format. There is a title page in which you can see thumbnails of all of the covers and then you can click on them and see the original magazine, exactly as originally issued, with the advantage that the articles can be immediately accessed by clicking on the relevant item in the contents page. Also, all of the magazines can be searched by using the universal sort feature. Finally, you can print any of the articles or pages, either on paper or as pdf. It is all very easy to use and self-explanatory.The whole disc can be copied into a folder on your PC, which is a lot easier than loading the disc and also makes searching faster. If you then make a shortcut to "Index.pdf" on your home screen, you have one-click access to all 26 issues. You couldn't ask for more. An excellent product.It is important to note that you need Adobe Reader installed for this to work, but if you don't have it there is a link for easy installation.

Many of us keep copies of our favourite magazines for years, with the idea that one day we will need to referto this or that bit of information again, and WebUser magazine can fall into this category, but with space ata premium, I decided to purchase WebUser 2014 Back Issue Disc, allowing me to have everything to handon one disc.The disc comprises all 27 issues from 2014 plus six free bonus issues from January-March of 2015.The disc is fully compatible with Windows XP/ Vista/Windows 7/8 and / 10.It works just as well on Mac: OS X v 10.2.8 or later.Full instructions for use are printed on the reverse of the disc case.You may need to install Adobe Reader.Versions for Windows and Mac can be installed from the link on the disc.I have found this disc easy to use, bringing over 12 months worth of back issues to my fingertips.No more saying to myself, "now where did I find that handy hint on ....."If only all magazines kept their back issues on disc, life might be a lot less cluttered.

Great value for money, a perfect way to keep back issues and catch up on the ones I missed. You need Adobe reader to get the benefit of auto-run (I use Foxit reader (my choice) so have to navigate manually. Very satisfied.

On the whole I like the back issue disk even though I cannot find an actual list of articles (it maybe there, of course, so it could be me). When I can recall which issue the required information is in it is fine: but when I can only remember a broad outline of the article I am searching for it becomes more difficult. A better indexing system would be useful.TonyTONY SHAPPSEditor: [email protected] is a weekly newsletter featuring Super-8, FlightSim, Astronomy, Antique and Replica Scientific instruments, and more - much more!

As I don't live in the UK, except for the odd visit, this is the only way I can catch up with copies I miss........Of course the content is what I would expect it to be--- full of all what matters to stay up to date......I just wish the publication, and its sister magazine Computer Active, was available on-line.

Excellent. The disc is much more convenient than keeping all the magazine's. The index also helps find what you want easier than trying to search through a box of magazines. This is the third year I have bought the disc.
