This is the first issue for the new publishers, Condor Group. You might have already noticed some structural changes to your magazine — for one; it's a good deal lighter.

Hopefully, as you turn the pages, you will notice some of the other adjustments we have made to improve the visual style and the content of your magazine. Our team of designers have worked hard to create a format that is attractive without sacrificing readability.

I am very pleased with the group of contributing writers we have been able to assemble. Adam Turner is a prolific tech writer, having worked for The Age for many years and now writing for a multitude of tech publications. He will be providing monthly hardware reviews of the newest products on the market. Hari Raj is an experienced feature writer and he will be providing an in-depth look at the issues that affect you as PC users. Group members George Skarbek and Ash Nallawalla return to continue their fantastic contributions to the magazine. In addition to these we have a team of contributors providing product reviews, how-to guides and more. We encourage contributions from group members, so if you're interested please send me an email.

On a personal note, I am looking forward to producing a magazine that you will enjoy reading. Our only aim is to satisfy the readership, after all — this is your magazine. As such, any and all feedback is appreciated. If you can share with us what you want to see in your magazine, we can set about making it happen.

I hope you enjoy our first issue of PC Update Magazine as much as we enjoyed putting it all together.

Happy reading.
