We'd like to express our sincerest and deepest gratitude to beta-testers and other guys (and gals?), who tested, reported problems, endured remote debugging sessions, gave suggestions and really helped a lot to fix issues and shape ReHIPS as it is now. Thank you all very much, we really appreciate it.

And I'd like to express my special and personal thank you to my wife who supported and inspired me all this time. ReHIPS wouldn't be possible without her. Thank you for always being by my side, sweetheart.
