Well, it is about time. I was wondering if it was ever going to be available for computers. Some of us do not have iPads. In fact I belong to the "Anything but an Apple club." I heard one reviewer of the new Kindle Fire HD tables describe a group of people who wouldn't but an iPad that way, and recognized that I'm a member of the club.

I haven't ordered this yet, but I will.

Thank you for seeing sense! As an experiment it simply did not work. Most of us have our PCs (and Macs) and belong to the "anything but an i-gadget" school of thought. An interactive magazine  needs serious screen space for a start, and the i-gadgets do not have that. You were also ignoring the needs of the majority of your customers who have neither the money nor the inclination to waste on them - it would be less spare cash to buy art and craft supplies if we did! Hopefully collage # 2 will soon be converted to the core formats that form the majority of your sales as well, and things can go back to normal.

BTW, the mag looks terrific and I can't wait to get started!

Good news!  You've realized that not everyone has an iPad.  I like Apple products, am using my brand new MacBook Pro right now, but see no need for an iPad in my life at present.

I hope you will soon realize that not all your subscribers belong to Facebook, or want to join.  It was very disappointing to me when I clicked the link to register for the drawing for a Singer Hand Felting Machine and learned I'd have to join Facebook to enter. I tried to comment about this on the article about the drawing but no comment form would appear.

I joined Quilting Daily, not Facebook.  I hope linking to Facebook is not going to be a regular thing for Quilting Daily.  Many people don't join Facebook because we care about protecting our privacy.
