[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 3474260, member: 4275"] You are? The guy yelling "dead, dead, dead" wants me know he's an adult? Huh. Thanks for that. Cause I really wouldn't have noticed through all the noise. By viable, I was speaking about potential market penetration. Given the expense of international shipping, I think the web is the best way to reach the international market, which is huge. Much larger (by population), than the US market. Russia, China and India have an internet user base almost the size of the entire US population. Over time, internet access is going to grow. Similarly, reading online will become a more pleasant experience over time, as monitors and PDF software continue to improve. By contrast, printing and shipping magazines internationally is something unlikely to get substantially cheaper, or faster, than it is today. Therefor, in my opinion, web delivery of magazine like material will get more viable over time and has a much larger market it can reach. Online reading is pretty easy to use for me. I have a laptop with WiFi and use it when I run my weekly game already. And of course, web content will be easier to use tomorrow than it is today, and easier to use the day after tomorrow than it will be tomorrow, etc. Prices come down all the time on laptops, more WiFi hotspots spring up every day in universities, coffee shops and bookstores, improving web access and technology gets more reliable. Well if that's the case, then your problems run way deeper than them putting some magazines online. Maybe you should go to the park, get some fresh air, or buy a new game or something. Sounds like it might be time to take a break. For me, I think the DI has a lot of potential. [/QUOTE]
