Acknowledgments

This site would not have been possible if it were not inspired by the perspiration and sheer selflessness of some great people, namely Jek, Chris, Wyn, Kok Yong and Dennis!

My thanks especially to the Singapore Java User Group , for the very generous hosting of my site!

My deep gratitude also to Romen of the Television Corporation of Singapore!
