Editor's Note

No, it's not this week's newsletter early, it's last week's newsletter a touch late.

Yeah... between deadline to get issue 103 to the printers (and it's PACKED full of awesome), and a massive office clean-up, things kinda slipped.

I promise, it wasn't anything to do with playing Prototype.

Not at all.

Anyway, you'll get another newsletter this week, only on Thursday. There's lots of cool stuff to catch up with, though, and there'll be even more by then.

Ciao!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
