I have always enjoyed it when it was Recognition Pro. <br /> <br /> Sadly *MY* reading style does not lend itsself to electronic format so I probably will not renew. I like to be able to walk away from the computer from time to time....and I like the tactile feel of a magazine in my hand...sometimes I like to sit in the jacuzzi with a drink and read...something I cannot do with my computer...I also tend to read more in the "library" but again, I'm not taking my computer "there" either.

Personally I much prefer the magazine in the old format. I tend to see the e-mail while working and always plan on going back to read it later - never happens. I enjoy reading the other 4 or 5 hard copy magazines I get and will probably drop this all digital publication at some point. I really hate to drop it because I enjoyed reading it but in this format it does not work well with my current work/leisure style. <hr /><a name="a5004_31"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.31">#31</a>]<br /> 28 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.28">#28</a>] 1 Mar 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">I have spoken to Mike as well and suggested he continue to publish both.</div><br /> <br /> Did Mike have a response to that suggestion? <hr /><a name="a5004_32"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.32">#32</a>]<br /> 1 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.31">#31</a>] 1 Mar 2007</p> He said, "Fella, get back on your island, I'll handle it!" <img src="http://www.vpsingles.com/pics/chase.gif" /><img src="http://www.vpsingles.com/pics/island.gif" /><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 1 Mar 2007 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a5004_33"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.33">#33</a>]<br /> 1 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.32">#32</a>] 1 Mar 2007</p> What a great way to keep customers. <b>Definitely not.</b><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 1 Mar 2007 by HARVEY-ONLY</p> <hr /><a name="a5004_34"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.34">#34</a>]<br /> 1 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.31">#31</a>] 1 Mar 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">He said, "Fella, get back on your island, I'll handle it!" </div><br /> <br /> Essentially David T is right. Mike is a great guy, but he very politically told me that they were going digital and they would be sorry to lose me.<br /> <br /> For the remainder of my subscription I will try to make a concerted effort to embrace it and see how it goes. Recognition pro had always been one of my favorites. <hr /><a name="a5004_35"></a><p><b>From: Ruben (QUIEROLEARN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.35">#35</a>]<br /> 1 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.29">#29</a>] 1 Mar 2007</p> Hi UncleSteve,<br /> <br /> yes it is downloadable.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">If downloadable as a single file to read at our convenience without loging on, it makes it easy to keep the issues on a cd/dvd for future reference.<br /> </div><br /> <br /> Yes it is the advantage I see in it too.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ruben<hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.1">1-2</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5004.3">3-22</a>  23-35</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
