40Hex Number 12 Volume 3 Issue 3 File 000 Welcome to 40Hex issue 12. This issue confirms that we are no longer in our hibernation period (i.e. laziness). We have been out of the virus scene for quite some time, due to physical circumstances beyond our control. We have done a lot of reorganization, and trimmed our fat a little bit. You can expect a lot from us in the upcoming year, and I can assure you, you won't be dissappointed. Due to the large gap of time between issue 11 and issue 12, some of the information in here may be a little outdated. We are going to get a little bit more political then we used to be, but we will still keep cranking out the high quality technical information that you all enjoy. I would strongly recommend that you don't skip over the political parts of the magazine, because there are people who want to make laws that will affect every reader of this magazine. On a completely seperate note, we can now be reached via Internet. If you have any comments about the magazine, news articles, editorials, etc. we'd like to know, and we'll probably put all of the interesting letters into the magazine.
