Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Just got my paper copy Tuesday. Best $35.00 I've spent in a long time. I'm reading' it slowly with my coffee at breakfast. I have not even looked at the digital version this month. Thanks but no thanks I'll pay for the paper copy as long as they have it. Â Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Arranger, SASS# 25544 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Tried it, can't stand it, still think life members got ripped off, and will not pay thirty dollars a year more since I already paid up front once. BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Doggle Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 While the graphics and color quality are much better on-line, I just can't seem to get into reading it in the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frio Kid, SASS #31915 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I sit in front of computer all day long, not real interested in continueing at home. So, tried it for a few minutes once, probably wont read it much in the future. Big mistake in my opinion - just tossed the best marketing tool they had.

Most Wanted Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I used to flip through the printed copy just to check out shoots I may want to go to. Tried the online version and thought it was fine.

Nevada Skye, SASS #54791 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Sure have. I ordered the print version, but always read the on-line one if it gets here first. Easy enough to get around on, and I really like the pictures in glorious color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes . At first I thought I'd be agin it. However, I really like it, especially the clean crisp color photos and adds. Used to just breeze throught the adds, now I found a few things from vendors that I needed. Plus if there is an article or recipe I want to save I can just copy and paste to a file, much easier than thumbing through a three foot high stack of old CCs .

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I tried the online version. DON'T LIKE IT !!!!! I paid the money for the printed version the very day I heard about it. Even though I am a life member, I will continue to pay for the printed copies as long as they continue with it. Once the online version is the only one available I will just quit reading it.

Black Angus McPherson Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nope. I don't even know where to find it. I don't care to read an online magazine in any case.

Mule Town Jack Sass #20083 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I used to look forward to it coming in the mail. Read it cover to cover and took it to the gun club. Looked at the online version for a couple of minutes and haven't been back. Too bad, but I guess that's progress. MTJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T. Trish Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have two "online" copies so far waiting to be read. Haven't done it yet. Probably won't. I liked the printed CC much better, but there is no way I can afford the extree dinero for the printed. Having said that, I just renewed my subscription. I just like being a part of SASS, cowboys and cowgirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gran'pa Jef Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I still read it. Too far from the States not to read it! Not a big change: instead of waiting for the monthly mail in the box, I wait for the email! No problem as long as I receive the email telling me it's available. I think that email is the key issue.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sorry to say that I am not. The taller than wide format just does not work well on a computer screen, which is wider than tall. Plus, things like "continued on page 50" are unworkable in an online document. Since this is not for print anymore, the format needs to be radically changed. Scrolling the screen up and down is just irritating to have to do.

WillDearborn Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yes. Works ok on the mini iPad but is better on a full size one. Ads are fine and having links immediately accessible makes it more convenient to quickly look at an item and then get right back to reading where I left off. Â I really couldn't agree more. I'd flip thru the first couple of pages of the printed copy, then throw it in a pile. With the online version, I find that I pay more attention to it AND check out a lot more ads. Â Don't get me wrong, I miss my stack of papers, but then again I can be a packrat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Spurs Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'll add this comment: Â SASS is a "for profit" business which is great, and you will always have "10 farmers/10 opinions" when it comes to any discussion with the public. Â Having said that they are in the business to make money. It is not uncommon in small business to have an item that may actually cost them a little bit to sell, but they do so because that one particular item (or few) bring people in and in doing so encourage them to by more things. Â If something is a hard drain then it needs to go- I get that. But judging by the numbers or responses here, SASS could drop maybe 60-70% of the printed copies and radically reduce out-go, and in doing so keep 30-40% of the folks providing them living up-beat about the whole deal. And like has been said, many a copy of the CC has herded folks in to join SASS.... Â To me that would be wise marketing. Just print it out for the small percentage that actually read and enjoy it at the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee Gambler, SASS # 33915 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I always read the chronical cover to cover. I haven't read it on line yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isom Dart, SASS#8096 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 No, I scan it , but go to the paper copy. Read all the interesting stuff, then go back and reread everything. And I don't have to sit in front of a computer to do it. Computers are "toys" to me ,,,,, not my life. I go on mine every 2-3-4 days. I'll adapt when I absolutely have to ,,, kicking and screaming . Yah ,,, I'm practicing now !! I know ,,,,,,,, it's coming. Isom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepnmud#33546 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 YES. With a but, I had a habit of buying $50 reconditioned old Dell XP computers from a close by computer repair shop and my better half kept telling me I need to get into the 21st. century and finally got a brand new IMAC. The difference is night and day and can now scan the Chronicle by simply just scrolling up or down full pages. Just like the rest of the stuff I usually want to keep up with. Now when I visit the throne , still have Dillon Blue Press as well as several more reading choices. So I likely will read the Chronicle more better on the larger format than the printed version.
