PC Answers

…well read on, as this magazine may save your sanity! From time to time, we all run into problems with our computers, be it hardware or software related, and quite a few times we just can’t find the answers to the problem. During these times you would literally kill to have that bit of advice from the experts, a few tips to point you in the right direction and someone to get your computer back on the road, but all too often you are sat there fiddling about, getting nowhere and failing to solve your problem, pulling your hair out and cursing away wanting to smash you useless machine to bits ... more

I love reading PC magazines and have to limit myself or my bookshelves would be full and my pockets empty. I am an engineer and in my early days I did fault finding which involved finding answers to tricky problems. If you have a PC with the Windows GUI then you will be heavily involved in trying to solve tricky problems. This is Bill Gates mission in life. When I first started using a PC at home I was gratified to find a magazine called PC Answers (PCA). I really needed answers, at that time, as I had the old buggy Windows 3.1. I don’t buy PCA regularly but when I need a fix this is the ... more

Want to read a computer mag that is genuinely helpful, full of useful advice and not just for the beginner, not overrun by pages and pages of adverts?

I buy Computer magazine regulary. PC Answers is one of thoses which I now buy every month or at the very least borrow each copy every month.

I do know my computer Jargon, being in the bussiness, but i still like to read things in normal language. PC Answers is not full of adverts and every page is used to maximum potential. This makes the magazine smaller than some others and it makes the price higher than some others, but this one is ... more

PC Answers is one of those computer magazines where they seem to spend half their time working on the CD Rom, and half their time on the magazine. Whilst the magazine is OK, ComputerActive is a very similar type of mag but it goes much more in depth, and explains all the jargon too. The £4.99 price tag may be low when compared to some computer magazines, but it is rather expensive when you actually get hold of the magazine and CD-Rom and see what you have got for your money: a 114 page magazine, and a CD-Rom containing mostly freeware and shareware which can be downloaded anyway. What little ... more
