Inside The Box
Inside The Box is an electronic magazine (zine). The idea was started by the forum user StreaK[1].
The zine is currently planned to be released as a PND with a custom "web browser" that allows theming of the issue with some background music. However, the custom browser will get desktop builds for Windows and Linux, and are looking at allowing any webbrowser to access the zine online. This is all subject to change.
