I'd like to say thanks to two main groups of people; those who have helped with this site and those who have helped me with teaching generally.

But before the list of credits, I'd first like to apolgize in advance to anybody I've inadvertantly left off this page. If you think that I owe you some public gratitude, please contact me and I will see that you do receive some when the site gets its next update. Similarly, if I have mentioned you and you'd rather I hadn't, write and let me know and your name shall be removed from public scrutiny right away.

• UK IT training centre, Tolworth: For providing me with enough understanding and confidence to attempt something like this.
   
• Visual Software Training, Liverpool: For getting me started with web design and providing useful guidance with an earler project.
   
• My Parents for being so encouraging and putting up with this and many other obsessions of mine.
   
• David Cook, in Tokyo for first showing me that web design was within the reach of normal people (ones without degrees in computing or a few extra brain cortices)
   
• Edwin van den Oosterkamp at the Web Site Hosting Company UK, for always answering my e-mails in a matter of minutes and generally being so helpful. Also for helping to straighten out my many basic misunderstandings about the process of uploading a website to a server.
   
• Kiwi the Cat for being such good company while I've been typing away and who has managed to distract me occasionally when I needed it.
   

• Helen Apostolou, my first boss in Domokos for looking after me so well and tolerating my many disasters.
   
• Nikos Davanelos in Lamia, Greece, for inviting me to his school's training seminars and helping me to get my next job.
   
• Alkis Margaritis, my second boss (in Volos) and his wife, Aleca and son, Christos from whom I learned so much and who were so understanding when my classes erupted into noisy indiscipline (in the early days).
   
• Paul Johnson,my friend and co-writer in Greece, now in Reading, England; for putting up with my odd behavior under pressure, and managing to deal calmly with a certain publishing company, when I couldn't.
   
• David Leeming,my friend in Preston (or Spain maybe), for helping me get the Fukuyama job and with so many other things besides.
   
• Jennifer, my boss in Matsuyama, for guiding me while I struggled at first, and for her continuing patience with my many "dud lessons".
   
• Meryl, a colleague in Matsuayama who amongst other things provided a fantastic example of how you can teach effective and enjoyable low level classes - if you are just a little bit more organized than I was.
   
• Mr. Niho at NK Management Center, Tokyo; for helping sort out so many misunderstandings and logistical difficulties while I was at Fukuyama.
   
• Bill Howett at NK Management Center, Tokyo; for taking time out of his own busy schedule to answer my many questions, and for helping me get to grips with Japanese Windows 95.
   
• Scott Freeman in Fukuyama; from whom I learned so much about the world of business and world affairs in general.
