THE ELECTRONICS MAGAZINE FOR THE ENTHUSIAST WE INVITE BECOME A You To SUPPORTER We believe that electronics is a fascinating pursuit, and the most useful hobby that anyone can have, particularly for a young person in school. Anyone with a good grounding in electronics is better prepared to meet the challenge of today's and tomorrow's technology. Because we believed that many more people should come to know about and enjoy electronics, we decided to start a new magazine expressly for electronics enthusiasts, whether they be nervous beginners or seasoned veterans. We called it SILICON CHIP, a name which focuses on the very basis of today's electronics technology. We started SILICON CHIP as an independent magazine completely free from the influence of any existing publishing company, because we wanted to establish the . highest possible standards for accuracy and attention to detail. Our team is very small: founders Leo Simpson and Greg Swain, plus full time staff members John Clarke and Bob Flynn. SILICON CHIP has now been on sale for nine months and has been very well received. Even at this early stage, you, the readers, have clearly indicated that SILICON CHIP is the most entertaining and best produced electronics magazine in Australia. Considering the hard work in getting started, it has been a very gratifying response. But we want to make SILICON CHIP even better. To do this, we need the resources to employ more people; we need the services of technical illustrators, writers, designers and other creative people. This is the only way that we can be sure of attaining the highest possible editorial standard. We know this is what you want. Your letters tell us. But we can only do this with your en.: thusiastic support. Already, many hundreds of readers have taken out subscriptions to give SILICON CHIP a solid start but we would like to have thousands more. If you haven't already done so, please give us your vote by becoming a subscriber. By doing so, you will be ensuring the future of an entertaining, informative and independent SILICON CHIP magazine.
