Thanks to all the developers of the hardware, software and books listed below, without your work this site couldn't happen!
Hardware: Power Computing's PowerCenter 132. Great show while it lasted. Thanks Power! Apple's Powerbook 190 and 3Com's Palm III. I'd never carry my laptop into the jungles of New Guinea, but my Palm III can easily go everywhere.
TidBITS website and its authors, Tonya and Adam Engst for writing Create Your Own Home Page (Hayden Books, 1995) which got me started.
Joe Kissell for his well-organized and clear book, The Nisus Way, (MIS:Press,1996).
The authors of the Web Page Design Cookbook (John Wiley and Sons, 1996) with its useful templates, which gave me the tools to keep going.
Getting Hits, the Definitive Guide to Promoting Your Website by Don Sellers (Peachpit Press, 1997) for lots of solid information on the differences between search machines and much more. It's one of the few books of this type that I feel is worthwhile and concise.
Frontier, the Definitive Guide by Matt Neuberg, 1998, without this book and his online tutorials at Matt Neuburg's Home Page, I would never have attempted to use Frontier for my sites.
HTML, The Definitive Guide by Chuck Musciano and Bill Kennedy, 1997, for answers to all my coding questions.
Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville, 1998, how to structure elegant websites for the long term.
Photoshop for the Web by Mikkel Aaland, 1998 and
Photoshop in a Nutshell by Donnie O'Quinn and Matt LeClair and Bill Kennedy, 1997, the best quick, complete references available.
PalmPilot, the Ultimate Guide by David Pogue, 1998. Good-bye to all my piles of scrap notes, everything is in my Palm III. This book showed me how to customize my Palm III to suit my needs.
