I would like to thank you all for your comments re my homepage being
archived at the National Library. It all started because I couldn't find
anything about rainbowfishes at the time on the WWW. When I first started
this project in late 1995 I really had no idea of what I was going to do. I
didn't even know how to write HTML. However, the site eventually was
launched on the Internet I think around March 1996.

Since then I have learnt a lot more about rainbowfishes, computers,
graphics, the Internet and HTML and was inspired by many people who gave me
a lot of feedback and pleasing comments. Today it is approaching 5 MB and
getting close to my space limit with my ISP. However, I will continue to add
pages until he tells me I cant add any more. I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank Gunther Schmida, Neil Armstrong and Gilbert Maebe
publicly for permission to use their photographs as without them the web
site would just not be the same.

To answer Andrew's question about the book - I have seriously considered
putting it on CD with more photos, information etc., but have not yet
decided how to go about it. When and if I do I shall let you all know ;-)

Many thanks,

Adrian.
