DISC #5
DISC  was  the first  mag  containing a
mouse  controlled  menu. It  is also (I
think) the only mag containing a scroll
text.  Quite  nice, but not necesseary.
Again  the music  doesn't fit, and some
small   fonts  might  drive  TV  owners
insane.  DISC  could  also do with some
graphics.   The  interviews  were good.
Conclusion: One of the best there is, a
few  minor  shapeups in  article design
would help. 8/10

Hack-Mag #2      
Nice outlay although the pages are  too
small.  Bad  music and no  graphics are
negative  aspects. Easy system once you
get  the hang  of it (which  may take a
while).  Difficult to keep track of the
pages. Contents is not good enough!
Conclusion:   Good potential,  but they
must  improve  their articles. Some gfx
would definitely do. 4/10

of points in originality, the music was

Zine #7                                
The   first  you  notice  is  the  nice
presentation.   Although  the fonts are
just a little bit too small and hard to
read,  the pages are  clearly arranged.
The music was sort of boring, it didn't
quite  fit a  disk mag. (It  isn't easy
finding music that fits!). The magazine
is  very user friendly and it's easy to
keep   track  of  where  you  are.  The
contents is good.                      
Conclusion:  A very good mag for people
wanting to read abou
