Le-aving... on a jet plane (temporarily).

Monday, 2nd June 2008

Atomicans, how'd you like to come to the movies with us? Say tonight at 6:45 at the Broadway cinemas in Sydney? Awesome. We'll see you there. Check the link below for more info.

And just so you know, you won't get any newsletters from me for the next few weeks or so, because I'm off to America.

So until I get back, Dave (the editor one) and the PC Authority guys are going to be taking care of things around here.

Have as much fun in the next few weeks as I plan to!

-DAVE.
