    What I love about Shufflegazine

    I love that the magazine doesnt just include the basic things that every other tech magazine includes.

    I also like the fact that my article was in this month's issue!

    However, SOMEONE turned me into an whole different ethnicity with his translation of my name! LMAO!

    I wonder who that could have been...

    But I really enjoyed this month's issue, and I still have 2/3 of it to go. Great effort everyone.

    So sorry about that... guess that was me that butchered your name. I thought we wrote it same way that we've done before. With next article from you, make sure you give me the correct way of writing it!

    Anyway, thanks for all the kind words. We're not experienced magazine writers/producers so we kind of do what we think makes sense and write about what we think others might be interested in and hope that's good enough to make the magazine go around.

    Shufflegazine is different - for better and worse - because of where it came from (the EmiratesMac community), I hope everyone remembers and appreciates that.

    Nah man, it wasnt you. The name can be spelled a few ways in English, its the ARABIC translation that was botched. There are 2 families names here that in English are sometimes spelled the same way. But the translator choice the name that is more common for Arabic... and it was just my luck! lol.

    I always have the last 2 or 3 months of shuffle at my office. people enjoy it alot.

    Phew, glad it wasn't me I'll forward the point to our translator. Thanks for letting us know though, we want to get it right!

    I did not want to scare Magnus with my last name, so I used my previously used alter-ego last name for my article.

    LOL! That's okay, people are usually scared enough trying to pronounce both my names

    Ah! Your names are easy for me as most of my favorite bands include members with names like Jesper and Anders and Norin...

    Plus, you are named after a transformer, so that makes you extra cool!

    I think from now on I will just use a pen name. Mac Daddy for example. lol.

    Hey hey! I've been in shuffle 3 time fank you very much! I remember an article about Spaces as well because I was way too happy with it when it came out! lol.

    I'll work on one about Garageband soon.
