We would like to thank all of our friends for putting up with
long one-sided lectures concerning Analog Signal Processing,
control during branches, and cheez-whiz. But we would especially
like to thank:
- Rob Pfile
for loaning us the EPROM burner. This
thing saved our lives ten times over as we weren't stuck waiting
for hours to use the generally defective lab burners.
And for loaning us the powerful speaker which brought the joy of
SPAM to many people who might otherwise have been too far away to
appreciate it. And for the memories, of which he lent us some.
And for such helpful comments as "you'll never get it working."
We knew you didn't mean it.
- Mason Thomas for loaning us memory. For the helpful labels on our
whiteboard/SPAM presentation platform. For coming up with the name
SPAM. For providing us with numerous analog things (including a
multitude of capacitors, some of which survived). For almost
designing our analog input for us.
- Hans Mahr, for our biggest EPROM, to hold our smallest program,
the guts of everyone's favorite state machine.
- Dean Liu, who said "You see, us lab assistants are good for
something." (He was wrong that time, but in general, his statement
holds true. He was so helpful, we decided not to use the trick
on him.)
- Professor Newton for being a surprisingly interesting and fun
professor, unlike the professors who had been teaching for
the last few semesters and through word of mouth generally scaring
us away from the course.
- Bruce "Brooce" Mah,
Rob Pfile,
James Landay,
and yes, even Alex Ho
and all the other
HKN weenies
who took messages for us and let us use the phone.
- Troy Camacho, for the trick, which we never hated anyone enough to use.
- Yukkei Hui for nothing.
- Wayne Lee for as good as designing our microcontroller. The
basics, anyhow.
- To
Megabrooce for
the use of the mike. Looking forward to your
first tour!
- To James Landay for the abuse.
- To Jimmy and Chung for the company and the rides.
- To all our fellow CS150 students who Larry tutored back in CS60A.
Didn't I warn you to change majors while there was still time?
- To Bryan's Mom for the use of the car.
