Elsewhere, Chad Taylor asks:
Why do you have to be a moron to read a book?Home Paddock has solved the vexed (for Aucklanders, anyway) question of what to do about Party Central for the rugby world cup. Her solution would annoy both Murray McCully and the Herald’s Brian Rudman, so is well worth supporting.

And now for the letter of the month, from Jeff McClintock of Hatfields Beach to PC World:
Much as I enjoy PC World, I’m pretty disappointed with Geoff Palmer’s continuing pro-piracy stance. He claims widespread file-stealing somehow benefits the victims. As a small Kiwi software developer my sales fell 72% the same month “crackers” released my software for free.
I have decided to selflessly test Geoff’s assertion. Each month I’ll be scanning your magazine, converting it to PDF, and uploading to thepiratebay.org. I urge all your readers to “help” PC World by downloading future issues for free. Any objection I’ll dismiss as “the same old bunkum pumped out by self-interested parties”.
