| Monthly we present our Internet Humor column. It deserves attention because of its popularity. These snippets of jokes and spoofs come from many places usually without the author's name. Such is the tradition of Internet Humor. MUST READ LIST For months Jeff Richards kept our readers waiting to read his newest installment of Virus Hunter. For first time WW readers, enjoy his digital whimsy in its entirety. For "died in the wool fans", it holds up the second time around. As promised, we put it all together in PDF and zipped it for an easy download. Martin Naef takes us from exciting science fiction worlds into those of Virtual Reality. Or Herb Chong's series of useful articles for graphics newbies, the last of the three first: The Art of Scanning. The second explored the ins and outs of Creating Email-Friendly Images : the first was Color Matching For Beginners .

Internet Humor is always fun. However we must confess that the authors of this wit are too often unknown as are the the sources that provide them.
