Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:47:06 +0000 http://crankcast.net/?p=296#comment-2624 I was just relating the point of view of a friend, but I think what he was trying to get across was that only having the one page area to work with you wouldn't be able to get the same impact of a traditional two-page splash or spread. Sure you could do a horizontal splash that forces the user to physically turn the book, but the effect isn't the same. I think. crank!

It's decent stuff, but they approach the user accessibility in a way I find limiting. That's all. Oh and @Shables from a few shows ago: try http://challengerscomics.com/ and see if Patrick posted a copy of It's Cold Outside there, or try emailing him at the store. thanks for listening, crank! @Leigh Webb: holy crow, you put a poster up?

Rest assured that from now on "Buying a Mac is like buying a toddler toy" will be the first thing I say when asked which I prefer. Great discussion about the Apple/Windows thing guys.

Hearing the Zune segment and thinking: Agreed on the whole interface thing. I'm a Zune user myself, but it really comes down to who you started using first. If you've been using Itunes, you won't like the Zune software interface, and like any other program taking the time to learn the manual settings is always better than right out of the box (or server in this case).

It might be the poster I put up in my local comic book store advertising Arouns comics, Word Balloon and The Crankast 3 years ago (its still there) Wow You guys really do have a lot of Australian listeners.
