PC Pro April 2005 MSE.com & Martin Lewis mentioned!

What a nice (and ironic) surprise...

In my latest 3 for £1 :D issues of PC Pro (the April 2005 edition) on Page 209 there's an article on online shopping, with a screenshot of these boards (The 'Shop but don't Drop' one I think) and a plug for this website...:cool:

In the screenshot your name/post might be there (I can see student100, Jonni2bad, peach, lofty; to name a few).

Nice one

    Oooh! I'm famous :)

    actually I once got "star letter" in PC Pro, won a digital radio thing that attatched to your PC. It was a few years ago before anyone had heard of digital radio! And the thing I won didn't work very well :rolleyes:

    For some unknown reason all computer magazines publish their titles a month and a half in advance.

    PC Pro even do articles about christmas gift ideas in the January edition...

    There is also a closeup of the MSE screenshot. It was obviously made a while ago because the forum is still using YaBB!
