We are very pleased to bring you the May edition of MacAddict Hacker.  Now were going to tell you a few words about why we hacked this magazine.  

#1  The MacAddict CD sucks.  

We used to buy this great magazine to get awesome demos and software so we could spend less time downloading them and just install it off the cd and instantly play it.

#2  The cd is starting to be a MacAddict staff cd.

We used to love the cd because it had cool apple commercials, awesome quicktime moives of apple products and promotional goodies about macintosh OS.  The new cd's ive seen have queer video's about the MacAddict staff that are no one cares about.  We dont care about your life and watching it on video.  If we wanted to know about you we would buy your biography.  Lets see some more coporate sponsorship and corporate movies.

#3  The CD is getting boring.

What happened to seeing something new on the cd's each month?  A new Macromedia Director presentation would be nice.  Its getting very old to see the same graphics, same layout each month.  Lets have some variety.

#4  The software selection sucks.

Ok.  Lets look back to the very first CD.  It was loaded with great files from big name companies, cool software and lots of fun.

Now the last cd.  We have a great game of Quake, too bad we cant even try it out without buying it.  Theres some piddly little shareware and a few freeware programs.  And look at all the great stuff in utilities.  They are all under 1MB, we can download that crap ourselfs from the internet.  We want huge files that are too large to download from the net and put them on a cd so we can try em.  Especially commercial demos.  I love to grab a demo of Postal and Duke Nukem 3d (On the MacHome CD) which are large to download and easyer to install from the cd.  

The MacHome CD is packed with awesome demos from big companies like Adobe, Claris, Macromedia and more.  Its so awesome.  Then I look at your CD and I say, what a pile of shit.

Lets get some better program demos from big companies and some better picks for other shareware on the cd, kick Wade in the butt or get a new CD rom editor.  There is no reason that MacAddict cannot be cutting edge and have a good cd.  

Closing:

We hacked the cd because it sucks and hopefully we will see a total redesign of the MacAddict cd after they see that we totally hacked the thing to death.  

Thanks for listening.
