I am creating a publication for tech users & I would like your opinions on 
the content. I plan on making the publication totally free and targeted at 
casual computer users. I want to make it a biweekly magazine and though it 
would initially be published only online, I hope it would be received well 
enough for a free print edition in the near future.

I am doing this because I hate how primitive most Africans are regarding 
tech which is why it is going to be free. Other suggestions are also 
welcome. My email is aayekeen@gmail.com if you want to get across 
personally.

"tech users" and "casual users" are two different groups.  _You_ have to 
decide who your target is.  In a biog city in the US the starting point 
would be a good newsstand  (ours is gone - in a city of 2e6 people!) or a 
library.  Model your thing on some printed publication  you find.   I 
haven't been paying attention but my gut feeling the pickings are pretty 
slim for tech users, say a Dr. Dobbs like thing.  A good library retains 
things for a little while, though.
