I Need Your Input

I Need Your Input!

As always, I'm interested in hearing any suggestions you may have as to what you'd like to see discussed in the NewsLetter or on the website. Topics, ideas, improvements? Please consider PC ComputerNotes your website! Send your suggestions to: suggestions@pccomputernotes.com

However, this month I would like to receive some email concerning a few items:

1) I've been told the NewsLetter is too long, and have received some complaints that it only comes out once a month! I try to maintain a theme for a NewsLetter, and quite often discuss procedures that could be shortened somewhat I suppose, but at what cost? Leaving out information that may be pertinent to the subject, or not offering other options that may be available?

The fact that I can be so long-winded is also one of the reasons that I only do a mailout once a month. I could probably break a NewsLetter into 4 smaller NewLetters and mail them out on a weekly basis, but there are times when a topic or a troublshooting process may be spread over 4 NewsLetters.

What do you think? Try something new, or leave it as it is?

2) I'm thinking of starting a Forum for PC ComputerNotes. A Forum where you could discuss problems, ideas, or computer hardware and software information with each other.

A Forum can be a big undertaking and I don't want to attempt it unless I know there's some interest out there. I need to know if there would be enough reader involvement to warrant it. Please email me and let me know what you think.

3) Reader Reviews. There are millions of utilities, games and applications software out there and I can't possibly have an insight into all of them. I've mentioned this before and I truly apologize if you've sent me an email, and I haven't responded.

Everytime you purchase and install a software program or a piece of hardware, something is learned. Does it install easily? Does it live up to it's promises? Is it user Friendly? What did it cost in your country? Is it worth the money? Is there an application you think does a better job? Is it worth the upgrade? How do you rate it? Would you recommend it? What type of system have you installed it on?

I think a section on products you have bought, installed, and put to the test could help other readers in their purchase decisions. Reader reviews could be indexed on the website.

I'm not asking if you think it would be a valuable section, because I think everyone could benefit from it. What I am asking, is if anybody would be interested in taking the time to write a short review, and have it posted in a 'Reader's Reviews' section at PC ComputerNotes.

These are ideas that have been on the back burner for awhile. I don't know when they'd be implemented, but your comments could certainly help me to decide if its worth- while, or if I should just toss it out. Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions.
