$24 a year for PDF access is around £1 per month, and for the content it 
provides this is most excellent value, and its a highly credible 
magazine, it a political mouthpiece.

A lot of work goes into producing a publication of that quality (I do 
our 8 page (full colour) community newspaper and that takes enough 
time)(Using open office of course, doing some Urdu sections this month, 
which is interesting).

Online HOWTO's and linux.com postings are very good, but £1 a month to 
have someone bring this sort of good stuff all to one place is a bargain.

Sign up in droves, chaps, don't hang around.
