# Dear Reader

The management of SYNCWARE NEWS has asked me to take on the post of editor, as of the first issue of 1988. I am both honored and delighted at the prospect.

This preliminary announcement is intended to let you know what I am thinking at the moment, and to ask your help in charting the course for the magazine.
