THE ELECTRONICS MAGAZINE FOR THE ENTHUSIAST
WE INvITE You To
BECOME A SUPPORTER
We believe that electronics is the most useful
hobby that any person can have, particularly for
a young person in school. Anyone with a good
grounding in electronics is better prepared to
meet the challenge of today's and tomorrow's
technology.
Because we strongly believe that many
more people should come to know about and enjoy electronics, we decided to form a new magazine devoted to electronics enthusiasts. We
have called it Silicon Chip, a name which
encapsulates the driving force behind all
of today's electronics technology.
Silicon Chip is starting off as an independent magazine, founded by Leo Simpson
and Greg Swain. We have a very small
team of devoted staff including our full-time
electronics engineer, John Clarke and our very
experienced draughtsman, Bob Flynn.
