I am taking over for Bob Jackson, who is still with MICAR. and can be reached at his old number. However, beginning with this issue. I will field any questions or comments concerning Uplink.\n\nWe also have added a new designer to our staff. Joyesha Bhattacharya created Uplink's new cover design, and in the coming months will be working on a complete makeover of the newsletter.\n\nThe purpose of the redesign is to build on Bob's foundation and make Uplink a more \"user friendly\" newsletter. Upcoming issues will feature more graphics and photos, plus greater opportunities for reader input. We want Uplink to be as useful a tool to you as your computer.\n\nWe appreciate continued correspondence from our readers: not only your successes, but your problems and pitfalls as you boldly go where few reporters have gone before. Please call us at (314) 882-0684 with any questions or comments. - David Washburn Editor",
