From the Editor's Desk

At the outset, our apologies for the delay in publication of the April 2003 issue. Although there was no dearth of interest in your favourite journal and we did receive a number of very good technical papers, the lack of advertisement support and our decision to make the issue self supporting forced us to defer the printing, much as we did not like it. I would take this opportunity to appeal to all corporate and individual members to help us in this respect to ensure that the future issues do come out in time.
