# First Things First

You’ll notice that this newsletter is late again! You’ll also observe that the time frame for which it covers has been extended, as well. I honestly hope that this will be the last late newsletter. I already have the next one made up. Next month’s newsletter will consist of the documentation that comes with the CP/M starters’ kit that I put together. I hope that it will whet some of your appetites to opt for it.
