Those who paid

This is a list of the people with enough character to support the development of the Internet by actually paying (and/or making a charitable donation) to use my images on their Web pages.

I feel so guilty about all of the trash that I've talked about Windows 8 that I should thank Microsoft first for paying to use an image in a Europe-wide advertising campaign.

Dave Etchells, donated $375 to SARA Sanctuary (the no-kill animal shelter to which I gave my minivan).
Eric G. Gombert, O'Brien's International (moving company in Allentown, PA; 800-424-3866)
Brad Jenkins, JPSnet, donated $5000 to SARA Sanctuary for the use of some photos.
Andrea Will, MAZ, Hamburg Germany. (for www.maz.net)

There actually are a few others but I'm still digging up their names and URLs.

Those who typed

Strangely, a lot more people are willing to type

than are willing to write a check.

There are thousands of these folks and I think I may ask them to fill out a form to enter their info into a relational database. For now, the good guys who come immediately to mind include the Sierra Club, the Ford Motor Company, U.S. House of Representatives, NASA, Simon & Schuster, New Mexico Tumor Registry [I just love the name], a rock band called "Primate", The Isle of Wight College, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of the Interior, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Wesleyan University, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp, ...
