--------------------------------------------------  A special thanks go out to the following people...  --------------------------------------------------   BEN VOST From Amiga Computing...For inspiration, valuable feedback, advice, moral support. He was also resposible for the design and rendering of the CD artwork and inlay cards. You did an excellent job Ben...Thanx!  PAUL BETTS From Netcom Systems, Ipswich...Who helped immensely in setting up the the external SCSI PC tower case used to house all the devices that were used to develop these CD's. My thanx also go out to Paul's wife Valerie, who "gave" Paul the OK to spend long hours here, during his down time, to set the system up when he really should have been at home with her! :-)  BILL BAKAYI From Performance Audit, London...who travelled half way accross south London in the middle of the night to deliver food to two hungry souls in the Almathera offices. He also lent me his prize possession...his 26 mb A3000, so I had a potential backup machine...Thanx for being a real mate! Good luck for the future and I sincerely hope that married life agrees with you!  BRIAN STERLING From Majorvision International...Who helped in the creation of these CD's and offering me moral support when needed and for taking me out for a breath of fresh air and a bite to eat when everything was getting too much... Brian, the next chicken kebabs are on me!  LARRY HICKMOTT From LH Publishing...Who created the books for each CD and offered valuable feedback when needed. He also helped out with some IMG format image conversions that could only be performed on a PC (God, I hate them!)  DON COX Who wrote some custom Arexx scripts for me to use with AdPro, Pagestream3 and Directory Opus. These scripts saved me from becoming an "Automaton" while also saving me many hours of boring work. These scripts made the daunting task of image conversion and creating font preview screens into a simple one.  TONY MILLER Sysop of the 01 FOR AMIGA BBS...who gave me valuable advice when I encountered a weird (and potentially lethal) SCSI bus problem. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank him for all his encouragement and support since the beginning of EMC! (and even before that!)  JEFF WALKER At Just Amiga Monthly...Who gave me lots of input and things to think about...things that I probably wouldn't even have considered!  BOB From Netcom Systems, Ipswich...who sold me the 4.3 gb SCSI Quantum hard drive, the 4 gb DAT drive and the PC (God I Hate them!) tower case, at ridiculously cheap prices and then gave me lots of time before I had to pay for them.  STEVE From Almathera...who went way beyond the call of duty to try and cut the Gold CD master disc for EMC Phase 1. After three attempts, he was forced to admit defeat and the master CD Gold disc had to be cut at Optonica.  CARL GAMBLE From Optonica, who arranged the last minute cutting of the Phase 1 Gold disc master.  BARBARA NEWALL From IDG Media (Amiga Computing) who did an excellent job (with Ben Vost) of printing the films for the CDs artwork and cover and for meeting the deadlines that I imposed. And obviously everybody else who helped, advised, offered invaluable feedback and supported me during the production of these CD's. These people include... PAUL & JOLYON RALPH at Almathera (see you in Fuengirola soon) IAN at White Knight Technologies PAUL AUSTIN and all the guys at Amiga Computing NICK VEITCH and all the guys at Amiga Format All the guys at Amiga Shopper KEVIN STENNING at CyberSystems DAVID ELLIOT at Springfield Multimedia MIKE LOADER at Soft Logik, St. Louis,USA SEBASTIAN and DENNIS at Scala UK TONY BULLOCK at Gordon Harwoods (Softwood UK) DAN PETITT at Digita BABARA PATRICK for having an understanding ear! And... my bank manager!? for financing the whole project and also... A special thanks to my wife Rosa and my two son's Erik & Reno who were forced to put up with a real grumpy preoccupied (and often impossible to live with) Dad while he spent many, many, many, long hours, days and weeks putting these CD's together!  and also... We would like to thank all the PD and Shareware authors, font designers, artists, scanner freaks and everybody else who created the data that we are using on this series of CDs. and last, but not least... To you, our valued customer, who bought the CD To all of you....THANK YOU!
