A big "thank you" to Redundant Technology Initiative's major sponsors
and helpers, without whom the project could not have reached this stage
and wouldn't continue to grow.
Many thanks are also due to our computer donors, many of whom have
never before considered supporting an arts project, and to our previous
supporters, who have helped us to get the project to this stage. Thank
