Hi, buddy! I am so glad that I have the opportunity to write a few words for the intro of this magazine. So often the scene were called doomed or dead, yet there are so many virus authors and virus researchers out there and even keeping the traditions like releasing the magazines. :-) Sometimes you could think that there is nothing interesting left, that there are no blank spaces in the virology, that all you could imagine is well known before. You could feel lonely and decide that your curiosity is akin to perversion and that your altruistic efforts would be converted to a fast buck by a blackhats or avers. (At least I sometimes did. In the bad mood). But that's simply not true. I just checked the VX Heavens stat page and once again received an evidence that there are hundreds of thousand of people who share the same attitude and interests. Not all, but many of them. So many. I am happy that as time passed by our creations became more clever and attractive. I am fascinated with a slow, but inevitable maturing of technology. I wish to greet all vxers and hope that you'll enjoy reading this zine as much as I do. herm1t / VXHeavens.COM, March 2012
