sorry you got bit by the timing, but could you comment on the DVD?curiousgeorge wrote:Ed,
That just gripes my a**! Wouldn't you know it... I just got my DVD in the mail yesterday and guess what?... I ordered from FWW and paid full fracking price!!!! Where was this a week ago? This would have saved me $50.
I believe the interface is actually a PDF. You can choose to view single page or double page. You can pan in or out just like in Adobe Reader. It has a search function, indexes, etc. Actually I haven't had time to look at it too close as yet, but it seems to be a top notch production. It darn well better be for the price.iclark wrote:sorry you got bit by the timing, but could you comment on the DVD?
how is the image quality? Great! The first few issues are black and white, but they still came out good.
is the viewer interface usable? The interface is the same as viewing a PDF.
can you print just the page you want? Yes
if you print a page, how does it look? Don't know. Haven't tried to print any yet.
I bought the full set of the National Geographic Magazine when it first came out on CD. what a mess! poorly scanned in low res with a viewer that made you look at 2 pages at a time (and print 2 pages at a time).

thaks for the info. I agree that it should be for the price, but that is what I said about the Nat Geo, too. the FWW is cheaper than the NatGeo was even without adjusting for inflation.curiousgeorge wrote:it seems to be a top notch production. It darn well better be for the price.
