Welcome to the cover disk for the December issue of Internet Magazine! We hope you enjoy the wide variety of new tools, applications and trial software we've managed to squeeze in this month.

If you're a regular reader or subscriber, you won't fail to notice the new look we've given the CD interface this month. Together with design specialists at BlackOrange and our own CD Editor David Parry, we've revamped the whole design and navigation system to help you access your favourite files that little bit more easily. In fact, if you ever visit our Web site (www.internet-magazine.com), you'll find the new style is actually quite familiar!

Each month the CD will continue to improve and will include more software, more files highlighted in the magazine and more practical features.

This month don't miss the chance to try out many of the excellent FREE downloads found in our main cover feature, and why not make secure your new broadband connection with ZoneAlarm 3.0 and our expert help guide inside the mag?

Enjoy the new-look CD, and let us know what you think,
