Acknowledgements
================

I used to keep a list of acknowledgements here, but there have been so many people who've
offered excellent advice and ideas, that I'm in danger of missing somebody out.

I lieu of that though I'd like to thank everybody who tries fretboard and even more so the
people who've taken time to write to me to let me know what they think about the app (critical
or otherwise).

Thanks also to the people who provided the toolset I use for my development (GCC, CoPilot,
Pilrc, etc).

Happy Strumming...
