 From the Editor
Special Holiday Double Issue!
This issue of CM would be fatter than usual if you bothered
to print it all out. But even on the screen you might notice that the
pixels seem unusually . . . thick.
That's because we're publishing a special seasonal double issue. The
next one will go out on January 5th. It's not like you were going to be
spending much time on the Internet over the holidays anyway, right? I
mean, I do this for a living, but I hope not.
And unlike Halloween, I have nothing grumpy to say in this editorial
about Christmas. I watched the Grinch last night and got all choked up.
Today I fly to Montreal to visit family, where we'll watch the Alistair
Sim version of A Christmas Carol
(non-colourized) and get all choked up. Then we'll eat
until we also become unusually . . . thick.
I hope you all have equally happy holidays.
So Merry Christmas from me and Peter, and everybody else at CM. See
you in the new year!
