Greetings fellow crankers!   Because issue #4 came out at the end of January, this issue came around awful fast, and only spans a month or so of activity.   Nonetheless, I believe this issue has the best crop of photos we've published to date, and I hope you'll like 'em.   Apart from a bunch of news and other announcements, we don't have any other articles this issue, but they'll be back in coming issues - especially if you submit things (click the 'contribute' button on the home page [or this] for ideas on what we need). You can also email me any time to talk about submitting things.   Anyhoo, keep cranking and enjoy issue #5.   Lee Skidmore   Editor
