A DVD with lots of good software? I thought those mags had all but vanished by now. I hate how when you buy those, you get the version of some freeware that is one or two months old, so you have to go to the software's website and download it all over again, anyway, so why not just publish the review of said software and a link for downloading it... Actually, the _name_ of the software is enough, since you can look it up on versiontracker.com and macupdate.com - where you'll find the _newest_ version.

Those software CDs were great when the internet was not put to its good use, but nowadays, such magazines - for me - have a hard time. They're always some time behind, and often their quality just isn't good enough.

In my dream world, someone would gather the _good_ authors of such magazine articles from around the world and create a site like _this_ one, i.e. a forum. For, say, 10 USD a year, you'd get access, and you could read those articles, answer to them (help correct mistakes instantly!). On the other hand: This already exists here. And free. And some people on here are better than most magazines' "knowledgeable" authors. Thus I'm against most tech magazines.

Must say, I haven't ever read iCreate, so my opinion is more a general one...
