A new Era
In the two or so years, that this publication has existed,
it has by and large improved with every issue. True
enough there have been some difficult times as is
always the case with just about every publication; for
the most part it has proven itself to be a relevant and
what we’d like to believe a much needed publication.
My involvement with the
magazine has changed over the
years, from being a contributing
writer, to a deputy editor to where
I find myself now, taking the reins
from a dedicated and passionate
Editor. It’s beyond daunting to
say the least and it’s definitely
far more challenging when you
are dealing with every detail
as opposed to tackling specific
aspects of the magazine.
It is with this new found respect
that I undertook the job of
steering this publication further
into the right direction, at the
very least moving forward with
what had been established while
navigating new areas for the
magazine.
We may be a significantly
smaller team now than before,
but none the less we have great
support structures along with a
diverse group of partners (and
a kickass designer) to further
improve on what we already
consider the most focused
publication in this field. As before,
we are unlikely to ever be the
first with breaking news about
any product, but we will give you,
our readers - a mature and more
objective view on any piece of kit
we take the time to examine.
We are aware that there may
have been an irregular timing to
the magazine release schedule
before and this is something we
will be addressing immediately.
So Take it as our promise to you,
that unless something drastic
happens, you should expect a
magazine form us every second
4 The OverClocker October 2010
month, and as this one is later
than we had envisioned, we will
be back in November again. Rest
assured we enjoy doing this in
as much as we hope you enjoy
reading it.

If this, as my first note reads
like a eulogy or something equally
exciting, ‘tis not because I lack
humour, but simply because I
owe you at least one Editor’s note
that isn’t riddled with lamentable
attempts at humour (Imagine,
Kimi Raikkonen’s stand up
comedy career if you will - It can
only end in tragedy)
With that said, I hope you enjoy
this issue of “TheOverclocker”,
we’d ask you to drop us a line,
but we have a paralyzing fear
of keyboard Rambo’s and
Prehistoric Gerbils, as such we
ask only you read through, if you
like it, tell your friends, if not, tell
them anyway.
Signing off.
