ONLY if it has a tutorial for 'rainmen' like me who can't figure out how to skin a wb. (Yes, I have looked at the other ones reccomended here..

)

Other than that...do you know what I went through to get the 19.95 just to subscribe here?!?!?! My wife would put a Plutoniam P32 Space Modulator where the sun don't shine and not even blink. shudder.

Would I buy it? No! Wincustomize magazine is sent to me every month via email by Wincustomize for free.

At last, after 2000 years of work, the Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator.... Spell checker

I would buy it. For some reason I read better when reading ink than I do reading light. I will even print a long e-mail to read it with more understanding.

It's nice, but I would not buy it. However, I have a better idea.

Make up a "magazine" like this that showcases all of Stardock's products, and the skins available at Wincustomize. Stardock gets this "mini" magazine to be included in an issue of a popular computer magazine as a supplement.

I'd buy it just to see who this inner circle of 5 are at WC. Sounds very conspiritorial...

2000 years? I've got an extra C4 vaccuum modulator you could use right now......

The actual cover or the articles aren't really the point... I guess I was just trying to convey that this has potential as an endeavor, whether it be articles covering winCustomize only, or Stardock products, or a combination of both. Just thought I would ping the idea and see if I got a response.

If there were to be a WinCustomize Mag, i think it would have to cover more than Stardock (I still love you Frogboy!!!)

I guess I would buy it, but only if it cost 3.00 USD.

Personally, I think it being an online magazine would be better with the option to read as a Arcobat file. Maybe some exclusive prints can be sold for a price premium for those who want a physical magazine printed on special magazine paper (and it will be numbered for collectability and come with a CD and browser to install the latest picks... maybe even a s[ecial skin for those who purchase the limited edition physical magazine).

Just don't go crazy like deviantArt's Magazine. Keep it simple with add-ons. Multiple authors, revenue sharing, limited advertising placements and classifieds (for people looking for work or wanting to hire from web design to skinning to corporate identity - busines card, letterheads, junk like that.

What do u think of that?

100% YES.. With a disc that has 3 Premium Skins, figure those packages on the site go for 6.95 to 8.95. So to get a magazine and 3 skins for say 9.95 I'd call that a deal. Maybe thats just me though..
