Welcome!
Welcome to the May issue, which contains a special focus on CG and computer games as well as the usual selection of columns from our regular contributors. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had helping edit, and I encourage you to contact the authors or myself if you have any feedback, suggestions or comments.
This online version of the newsletter is coordinated by Mike Davison. Please send him any comments or suggestions you may have.
