Welcome
to issue Zero of Silver Lion ... it's been a long while in preparation
so hopefully you will enjoy it ... and if not ... send us something
more interesting to go in the next issue.
To try and capture some of the feel of a traditonal magazine,
each article is designed as a set of pages (842
x 595 pixels at 96 dpi) to be downloaded
as a separate PDF which you can browse now or keep forever.
We've split the magazine into separate PDFs so you don't have
to wait too long to download them ... but if you are really
brave you can download the entire Silver Lion by clicking
here ( 110 MB) or if you don't like this format click
here to browse the online HTML version. Either way Silver
Lion is best viewed in full screen mode ... press F11 in Internet
Explorer or Firefox.
This
first section includes the full size version of the cover and
info about what Silver Lion is, why we exist, our editorial
policy and how to submit stuff for future articles ... so it's
worth having a look ... just click on the small cover picture
to begin.
Next
issue will come out when we have enough good stuff to make it
worth while. Sign up and we'll let you know when the next issue
comes out ... just click
here and send us an email with "Sign up to Silver Lion"
in the subject line.
