There is another magazine (US based) called Material Handling Management (formerly Material Handling Engineering) that I preferred to read while visiting the porcelain over Modern Material Handling - but what do I know I'm just from one of the former colonies.

Yes mate, afraid so lol.

Uplift are you back on the spanners old chap

Lol, even your apology is long winded! O well can't beat friendly banter! :-)

Hi Guys

I think you should all read my post in the Fun at Work Forum

Ed is also out on the porch

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Uplift, I guess I was so bored that I didn't even recognize I was bored, but now that you mention it....
and please, (I and) everyone else should ALSO consider ME as every bit as stupid and wrong as they might be.
by way of an apology, it is very presumptuous of me to have posted in any manner that would be interpreted as my having considered anyone else's opinions as 'wrong', and it is only -my- _opinions_ that I offer.

Edward were you in the army

Christ Edward, are you a little bored or sumat lol. Have you ever answered a simple question with a simple answer? Or do you presume every one that isn't Edward is stupid and wrong?


O well thanks for finally suggesting something relative to the question!

Daniel, thanks for the info. I don't have a printer but even if I did it's not something he'd be interested in. He's very stuck in his ways and would only be interested in a magazine lol. But I'll certainly have a look at it!

Uplift, I know you're loking for printed media but you could always print out articles from any of the issues of Eureka, which is online, if that would help, because it covers quite a lot of general industry issues. Go to eurekapub dot eu

Although I am biased towards the magazine, for many reasons, that is not why I suggest it, and just thought it might be something for your old man...if you print it out of course.

On MY computer keyboard, I have a key (one of a row of only 3 keys, right above the number pad, but it might not even be on your keyboard) that says "print screen" and if I push down on that key, I get a pop-up window asking me what to print, so I can print off anything on the screen to read later. I have even found I can make the picture and text large enough on screen that it prints something I can read later.
I have to admit that I don't bother with rebooting my computer but about once every 3 of 5 months, and I don't use Microsoft Windows as my computers operation system, and I also try to keep an open mind about changes, and not resist change just because it is different.

There are a few print magazines still out there, I think "modern material handing" may be one and so may "material handling network". I know there are on-line versions of them, You might try searching on google for links to them. I am pretty sure you will find them both very specific to the US market, and not much about the UK market
as far as reading while on the thrown,,,
never mind,
I won't go there*.
:-)

*= but it has to do with how small a market UK forklift people are, in relation to the expense of print and delivery.

call me old fashioned but you cant beat a good old fashioned magazine ,you can have most of the magazine read by the time you log in and f..ck about trying to get your wifi to connect. also not so easy to take a PC into the toilet doesn't sit on your knee the same as a magazine.

It's for my disabled father who can't operate a computer, he's asked me if I can get him a magazine on the lift truck industry. You obviously don't mind saying it Edward or you wouldn't of said it, thanks for the lecture tho!

Thanks guys who answered the question, I'll be having a good look at them!

I hate to say it, BUT...
Print magazines are so 1990, why not consider yourself part of the current century and recognize that this site and it's newsletter are the very best of modern types of "magazine" for our industry.
I, and you might also, find MHEDA to be aimed at a bit wealthier crowd (forklift main line dealership principals) than the front line techs that have made forkliftaction dot com their home and source of forklift related information.
