• Kim from Oz, for being the guinea pig for the first test-drive of my web resume (don't let them steal your dreams);
• my father, who bought my brother and me an Apple ][ +, and never looked back;
• Eric, for the longest friendship i've ever maintained (40);
• the makers of Netscape 3.0 Gold, 'cos it's a neat browser (down with navigator! up with communicator!);
• my favourite lion, for letting me spend time on the savannah;
• Lise and Jochaim, who gave support, understanding, and jump-starts;
• Amy Bodenberg, for sympathy and hard lemonade;
• the Oxford English Dictionary, for helping me finish my MS;
• my kansas scholar, even though i keep forgetting to call;
• bourbon, the imaginary goldfish, who reminded me to stop and listen to the music;
