Editor's Note

It's another month - can you believe that? It only seems like last week we were celebrating the first newsletter of the year, and now we can see the end of this one not too far away! It's all moving too fast...

But that's okay, you've got us to keep track of things for you :)

The first of our top stories you should cast your mouse over is our Tech Journo competition. We've got three plucky finalists, and we want you to help us pick the best one for publication in the pages of Atomic. Everyone who votes goes into a neat little prize draw, so not only is this your chance to make one Atomican very happy, but you can win stuff too - keen!

On the hardware front, we've got Sapphire's shiny new 4890 video card, and it's just about our new fave high-end, single core card. We've also got benchmarking news for the new Core i5 processor from Intel. This is news you need to read...

And finally, we've got fresh video of the upcoming Aliens Vs Predator. Remember, a day in the Corps is like a day on the farm... except full of Aliens who want to kill you. And it looks awesome fun.

See you next week, when issue 105 of Atomic goes on sale!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
