LAB NOTES
ZAK STOREY, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Thankyou & Goodbye
It’s been a hell of a ride
Where it all began
MAN, THIS HAS BEEN a really difficult issue for me to write. On the one hand, and I’m sure my production team will agree, I’ve been insanely efficient for once, meeting every single one of my personal deadlines ahead of schedule, planning, commissioning, and organizing the next two issues on top of that, so my successor doesn’t have such a hard time, and generally just being punctual with backup plans on backup plans.
But on the other hand, it’s been difficult because it’s going to be my last issue. I’m finding it challenging at times to write, without getting emotional. It’s in the back of my mind that this is my last build-it, my last review, my last editor’s intro, and that’s quite rough. For me at least.
I know that might sound ridiculous, but it’s just one of those things. Maximum PC has been pretty much the entirety of my working career to this point (aside from a stint on Tom’s Hardware). It’s where I became the man I am today. It has allowed me to do so many things, learn so much, and hone my craft. It has massively contributed to my next career move too.
