Your chance to comment
on SILICON CHIP
Welcome to the biggest issue of SILICON CHIP so far . At 124 pages, it
represents another milestone in our progress. It is packed with articles aimed at that most important client of ours, you.
Each month we talk with a lot of our readers and try to gauge what
they like and dislike. You read the results of that process each month.
This month though, we're taking a further step in giving you what you
want. We are including a 4-page reader survey.
It is right in the centre of the magazine. You can easily pull it out
and fill it in. We have not numbered the pages of the survey, so that
when it is pulled out, you won't be worried at some later stage that you
have lost some pages.
Please have a good look at the reader survey questions and take a
few minutes filling in your answers. We really would like to know
what you think. And if you would like to make extra comments about
SILICON CHIP, please do so.
It is not necessary to put your name and address on the survey but
even if you do so, your answers will be entirely confidential. Please
send your completed survey to SILICON CHIP, PO Box 139, Collaroy,
NSW 2097. The sooner you do it, the sooner we'll be able to collate the
results and act upon them.
While you are in the mood for filling in forms, why not enter our
Bose competition by taking out a subscription'? It's a great prize and
there are other prizes thrown in for the three months' duration of the
promotion. The details of the Bose promotion are shown on pages
104-105, while the subscription coupon is on page 80.
Enjoy reading this issue. See you next month.
