double redraw doesnt matter, since you can start reading right away, instead of staring at a blank screen.

I thought NSR was over. It's a real nice surprise. :) I read more than half of the reviews and i'll keep reading the rest.

@Oswald: Since sideborders are open, it would probably double the page flipping time. It's much better as it is.

really excellent indeed, very nice clean design, following these days' trends. it doesnt bother me that its not showing article titles, but I'd rather opt for seeing the screen being redrawn, that would reduce the wait when flipping pages.

visual presentation with fullborder and also music(!) are really nice. Personally, I don't neeed dozens of tunes in each mag, some track otions are always nice, though), few other points I'd criticize were already mentioned. All in all, preeetty good.

Great stuff, please keep them coming!

Puterman: "Shift lock, anyone?" At least one of the effects in the demo does indeed loop while shift lock key is down, I guess we ran out of time or simply forgot to add that feature to other parts, and yet again quite a few effects aren't really suitable for looping.

Written in English. What more can one ask? Overall this is a great presentation.

More please :)

I would like to see a few improvements in the fresh new Diskmag design:

1) explanation when I hover an icon, or perhaps an inventory, in modern GUI design, you dont lure the user, you tell them what to expect, so a little "introduction" on each section.. or

2) A general disposition/list of all articles to expect.

3) Headlines in different color, or inversed chars

4) thumbnails from the demos you are writing about

5) more music to choose from, the tune is fine, but to me gets very stressful after 2 loops. Cant read to that type of tune. Nice tune, but its not a diskmag tune for me. Guess I am getting too old.

But all in all, nice and refreshing design.

Shame you missed the music in "Gammal Man", its was supposed to be a singalong tune so everyone could learn how to sing the intro text + the scroller actually explains the story about Gammal Man. But hey, you cant win everyone's taste, can you? ;-)

Great read, I like the style of the reviews, a conversion between puterman and radiantx. Gives it a late night movie review show feel to it with good pace.

Nice feel to the outfit and of course good that it goes into the borders. One thing, could we have the demo titles in another colour? And maybe some icons of puterman and radiantx sitting in big leather chairs facing a round coffee table? :D

Really enjoyed this as demos are my focus and thanks for the fair review of SUD.
