"WAVE" No.35
September 2009


Editorial

Dear friends,

recently it was an anniversary - 70 years since the beginning of World War II, when Germany attacked Poland and started the world conflict. Books say the war has started without declaring, so the defenders were not ready. Can you imagine today, in the age of all those communication channels, that someone is not informed on such a big news? I guess not, that's why experts predict the next "wars" are about to happen on the World Wide Web and they will be more destructive than ever. You don't believe them? Well, maybe they are overreacting but anyway, take care of yourself and your computer. That's the strongest weapon ever.

Maybe you noticed recently that little "W" in your browser line when you enter our homepage. Well, that's only one of our innovations and actions we did to optimize our website. It's all because we want to be more readers-friendly, to help you find easier what you need and to feel comfortable while reading WAVE magazine.
