iDontFixIt
I’m a long-time subscriber to Maximum PC, and I just wanted to say congratulations to Guy on being named the new Editor-in-Chief. Now, may I make a couple of suggestions? In general, I really enjoy the magazine. Probably some of the most informative items are ‘Doctor’ and ‘Letters’, so it would be terrific if those could be expanded.
You probably have a page limit and so to do that, some things would have to go. I’d lose the iFixit and the PC Centerfold instead—iFixit is online and anyone can access it, while Centerfold could be one of the reviews in the back. Just some ideas for consideration.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, GUY COCKER, RESPONDS: First of all, thanks for the warm welcome! Perhaps a career in magazine editing beckons because it’s like you’ve read my mind! The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the lack of iFixit this issue. However, we will still return to it as and when there's something interesting, such as the one I can't wait for in the next issue! And no matter what issue it is, Maximum PC will always be packed with tutorials on how to get the most out of your PC, whatever you do on it.
I think you make an interesting point on Doctor and Letters. I’ve edited many publications, but nowhere have I seen the quantity or quality of letters we get here on Maximum PC, so I’ll bear it in mind. In the meantime, you can get involved in a more synchronous form of discussion with readers and the team on our official Discord channel at: http://bit.ly/MPCDiscord.
