About six months ago, my free subscriptions to the Computing, ComputerRobin
Weekly and IT Week all stopped.
I thought this was a bit odd as the company I work for is pretty firmly
in the IT industry, after doing some digging we've been told that we no
longer fit their profile!
We're not a large company (22 employees), but we spend ~£200k+ a year on
hardware/software etc.
Is anyone else having these kind of problems? Its starting to get annoying.
I just tried to buy a subscription to Computing, and after filling in
the inevitable load of forms I got a page with just their logo and the
wonderful message:
"output error"
Like you I was told (by Computing) that I no longer 'fitted the profile' (1
of 50 developers, but without any access to the money in the budget) and
Computing stopped arriving at work.
3 months later it started turning up at home.
Bit pointless really as I only get them both to read the back pages.
Why worry. They're all the same, filled with agency job adverts of
which most are fake anyway.
I stopped reading these cowboy papers years ago as all they ever seem
to do is tell us how the latest "xyz" technology is a "must have".
What crap. It is hardly surprising that IT has acquired such a bad
name with this sort of rubbish reporting.
