Great News!

David Dorn brings you news of developments here on PPC, including a massive programme of downloads, as well as some amazing tech chats

Over the years we’ve been bringing Practical PC to AOL members’ eyes, we’ve discovered that you’re very fond of good downloads. With that in mind, from Monday 10 June 2002 we’ll be starting our new Daily Download programme.

Supported by those awfully nice people at SoftWrap, we’ll be uploading a superb piece of software every weekday, and two for weekends, for you to download. They’ll be shareware – try before you buy, if you like – and just for a taster, we’ve already uploaded one of the programs for you to have a look at. Click here to see what it’s about.

But there’s more. As well as there being a whole new raft of top software for you to download, we’re even going to be running a regular draw for top prizes, linked with SoftWrap – so you never know, you could be in the running for a new PDA, a Digital Camera or, ooh, all sorts of things!

Keep your eyes peeled here for more information on that one!

Tech Chats.

As you know, we host a chat every Monday night from 9pm to 10pm in the Practical PC Chat room. One of the things we’ve done in that past that’s proved very popular has been to invite techies from  leading companies to come along and get involved, to answer your questions on the subjects they know best.

Well, forewarned is fore-armed, as they say, so I’m here to tell you that a couple of the brainiacs from Belkin will be along real soon now to answer all your questions about USB, USB 2 and FireWire.

Whenever we’ve held a Guest Chat like this before, the room’s been packed out, so keep your eyes peeled for the date, and get along early. We don’t, as PC users, often get the chance to talk to the guys that actually design (and in some cases invent) this stuff, so don’t miss out.

The date for the chat will be posted on the Main PPC Menu, as will links to the SoftWrap supported competitions, so come back every day and make sure you don’t miss out!
