I can't put these in any kind of order, so on to my usual state - - stream of consciousness:

Reggie and RogerS for leading the charge with this site - - I stumbled here when googling "Linux PDA" and was inches from saving up for an old Zaurus... only to find out the device I always coveted was soon to exist.

Thoughtfix for all the experimentation, blogging, and community building. I bet a lot of people do the things Dan does, but I know for a fact they don't compile instructions, answer questions, and do more to get their newfound information out to the public. The contest attracted a lot of new blood and attention to the tablets too! That was generosity beyond generosity. Kudos (hah).

aFlegg for being an awesome source of info from the early days up til now.

ArnimS for madly compiling our wildest dreams. I had a C64 running on my 770 the other day. A #&$*#& C64!!!

Serge for the work on mplayer and (Bet you didn't see this coming) Star Control 2 (along with ArnimS). I had SC2 running on my 770. #$&#*$ SC2!!!

Gnuite for maemomapper. Though I don't have a GPS unit and only installed it once to see what it was, I know this is a core app that has brought many into the fold. Please consider my ideas for subliminal message implants. ("Free Beer For Hedgecore" or something of that ilk.)

TexRat / Karel. The jabs have been priceless, you guys 'get' sarcasm and can play with it with the best of 'em. I get the feeling that if we ever found ourselves in a bar together there'd be a lot of soaked tablets and pissed off wait staff.

Konttori: I watched 5 hours worth of movies on my 770 on a train ride to Ottawa 2 years ago. It's your fault and you're awesome for it.

INdT: I always cackle when I show people Canola running and watch their face light up. Then I stop cackling to tell them where they can buy one of their own because they want one now. Excellent work on a very useful app.

Penguinbait: You don't think outside the box, you set it on fire and make a new one. I might get a new tablet just to try setups like the ones you're pulling. And like I said about Dan, you're sharing all your work and going the extra mile to document/disseminate it.

fPP: You've always had answers when my simple mind's been boggled. One day I'll look up a bunch of nonsensical Zen questions but even then I bet you'll answer 'em.

Milhouse: Again, lots of answers and information for everyone. My favourite was when you were slinging mud at that stupid kid a while back. You served him his a** on a plate and man I laughed.

My friend Jay who has never shown up here, but said "Hey lets go to Michigan today to get that tablet thing you want."

The Department of Homeland Security for pushing back the passport requirements and allowing me to cross the border 2 years ago with just my birth certificate and drivers license.

And the Academy for - - sorry wrong list.

On a side note, I got my 770 2 years ago on Dec 17th. Woo!
