Abstract :
This column will cover a number of interesting software packages, a few more comments regarding "bleeding edge" microcomputer hardware, and some publications I\´ve recently found interesting. However, it begins with some editorial comments (if I called it an editorial, it would have to be much less informal, and a lot more work). Please note that the words and ideas are mine alone (except where quotat ions are used). As always, comments (particularly for publication) are welcome.
