They may have some copies still on the shelves. I didn't get it as it is an extra magazine and I only tend to get the standard ones. Plus I have no interest in programming.

I've noticed that Smiths (don't know about other newsagents) often seem to keep them on the shelves for a long time. They don't go out of date really after all. They aren't time specific monthly issues. Best bet might be to ring Smiths. They will often check round the other branches and get one shipped over for you if you request it. -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug

They had the one after it still which was the Open Office special. I've got to pop into W'ton over the next few days so I'll check there for you. Did you try giving Smiths a call? If any local stores does have it they'll be able to get you a copy. -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
