Starry Night Backyard 3.1 on PC Pro cover disk
This months PC Pro (April 2004) has Starry Night Backyard 3.1 on the cover
disk. Okay it not as good as the latest version (4.5) but you can't really complain for £3.50. Phil

Phil April? In Sweden it's still February... Yes. It one of those strange publishing tricks where every magazine races to be the first to have their month N+3 magazine on the stands before the end of month N. It is getting pretty silly. It is a bit like the old problem with the Julian calendar and seasonal drift - but not as subtle... It seems to be accelerating too. Before long we will have the Christmas specials out for August Bank Holiday. Regards, -- Martin Brown

The reply, when all the weasel words were removed, was that if one does it they all have to! Something to do with us, the magazine buying public, being so terminally stupid that we think that just because magazine 'X' has April on the front when it's only December means the info is more up to date than a rival magazine, published at the same time, that January on their cover. Truely bizarre! -- Regards Nick
