From les.pritchard at gmail.com Tue Dec 22 16:32:52 2009 From: les.pritchard at gmail.com (Les Pritchard) Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:32:52 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Linux Format Message-ID: Hi all, Hope you're all ready for Christmas! You may have seen an email on other LUG mailing lists from someone at FutureNet talking about discounted subscriptions to Linux Format which was sent to the cenral LUGMasters mailing list. Well I've emailed the lady for more details before passing it on, so if anyone is thinking about subscribing to Linux Format this might be worth a look... Special discount for all Linux User Groups of 43% which is much higher than anything we are currently offering in the magazine or on the website so is a very good deal. This works out as £11.99 every 3 months by direct debit. So effectively you are paying only £3.69 an issue, instead of the cover price of £6.49. To subscribe on this special rate you can subscribe online at www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/lxd/2013 or call our hotline on 0844 848 2852 and quote ‘2013’. Being a subscriber gives you a whole host of benefits, including: § Exclusive access to the Linux Format Subscriber Only area, featuring an archive of magazine PDFs, Complete issue and DVD image downloads. § Every issue delivered direct to your home or work place a week before it hits the shops § All the latest news and analysis from the Linux scene § In depth reviews and detailed tutorials § DVD with every issue featuring the best new software -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I got the 8Gb clip+ from curry's yesterday (cheaper than amazon). Works great. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I asked at the last LUG meet for advice on an MP3 player that works easily in linux. I wanted a simple drag/drop file transfer, none of that sync with itunes / wmp b******s. £40. 8gb, expandable by micro sd, radio included. Simple. I didn't want fancy graphics. I just wanted to play my music. It even supports FLAC and ogg vorbis. sweet. Cheers guys Paul PS - the cowan ones were out of my price range. _________________________________________________________________ View your other email accounts from your Hotmail inbox.

I've since looked at the archives and saw it was you that recommended it to me. Kudos. I'm actually listing to an audiobook of Frank Herbert's Heretics of Dune (a book that I tried to read in dead tree format several times before).
