PureBasic v3.30 on PC magazine DVD

Wow, for those of us in Australia I just found out that PureBasic v3.30 is on
this month's "Australian Personal Computer" (aka "APC") magazine's DVD!
This is the FULL version too -- not the demo (although the v3.92 demo is also
included). I doubt free updates would be available with this version, but it's
a good way for anyone lurking here to get a more realistic feel for PureBasic
with no API and source code size limitations, etc.

UPDATE: Here's the magazine's web site: http://www.apcmag.com/
Here's the DVD page: http://www.apcmag.com/apc/v3.nsf/dir/cd

I think it's great that PureBasic is getting into the mainstream press at last.
It can only be good for the future of the language. Congratulations, Fred!

I contacted Fred before posting this news, and he knew all about it.

Maybe it's one of the reasons he is now able to work at home

I don't know, but in germany it is a normal behaviour, that magazins include fullversion of older software.

For a good program is this the best advertisment.
