History
Since the founding of the magazine till the end of 2007, 142 issues were released, the lowest number of pages was 64, and the highest was 300. The 100th issue had the largest number of pages in July 2004, and it was the first Croatian magazine which reached that number of pages. The publisher is VIDI-TO d.o.o. in Zagreb, CEO is Tomislav Kotnik, who cofounded VIDI with Robert Slavečki. Editors in chief since the founding were:
- Robert Slavečki, 1994-2000
- Davor Maričić, 2000-2004
- Igor Škevin, 2004-2006
- Ivan Pekarik, 2006-2009

Every issue has a number of information technology articles, hardware and software reviews, and a hardware comparison test where VIDI medals, Grand Prix and Best Buy, are awarded. Grand Prix is awarded to the best device on test, and Best Buy goes to the device which represents the optimum in performance and price.
VIDI is printed in the Croatian language and sold in Croatia, but it is also distributed in the whole region: (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro). First three issues were also officially sold in Austria (Graz), and they were sold out. But the transport costs were too high, so distribution in Austria was not continued. In November 2002. a website devoted to IT news and reviews, VidiLab, was also started. Daily news and periodical hardware and software reviews are posted there.
From the first to the 142nd issue there was a total of more than 100 authors who have contributed their knowledge and have written a total of over 5 million characters. Authors have been people of different levels of computer knowledge and interests, but of different education also, ranging from students to doctors of science.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
