Many people helped with this html presentation, and thank you, every one of you.
To those who are not specifically named: it was not because you didn't contribute, nor that I ran out of space.
I ran out of time
.

My family
for putting up with me while I was trying to prepare the html for this presentation.

Mr. Jim Cramond, Chief Magistrate,
for giving me the opportunity to use computers in court, and to come to this conference.

The A.I.J.A., for inviting me to Melbourne, and for introducing me to Peter Power of the Victorian Childrens Court, doyen of magisterial audio visual presentations

Sergeant Andy Dunn, webmaster of the South Australian Police Association's PASAweb, and the rest of Team 1 Patrol at the Port Adelaide Police Station, for an enormous amount of help. Not least for hammering into me recognition of the need to come to grips with equity in cyberspace and the introduction to "smart lunch" think tanking.

Jo Ouwens of the S.A. Department of Information Technology, webmistress of SACentral, for crystallising so much, for making me simplify what I was trying to say, often by way of hilarious email.

Greg Lehman, of the S.A. C.A.A.'s Information Services Division, for all of his help with ideas, software and hardware, and for all the encouragement when the going was rough. And for making it possible for me to run an experimental field station as I worked, for creating an environment where software could be tested out, both in and out of court, without putting the CAA network at risk, and for helping me analyse what I was doing.

Archie Zariski, the man of many hats- Canadian barrister, technical editor of ELaw, lecturer in ADR, evidence, procedure at Murdoch University- for making me work at thinking.

Andrew Male, of the ABC, and Amanda Hodge, of the Australian's Adelaide bureau, for helping me keep my feet on the ground, IT in its proper place, and the Viet Namese banquet courses coming.

Mr. Angus Redford M.L.C. (S.A.), for introducing me to the world of trying to explain IT to IT illiterati.

Mr. Syd Tilmouth Q.C. for making me articulate use of IT as a tool and the many discussions about that (but not for all the 'user help desk' phone calls after the purchase of that first Mac...:-) ; and for the many times when you have let me use your chambers library on weekends.

Tatiana McCall, for ensuring that the SA 'in court' clerical support staff have the ability to give the magistrates far more support than we are capable of utilising, and for doing everything in her power to ensure that women working in courtrooms do not lose the use of their wrists and shoulders.

Tony Newman S.M., Regional Manager, for taking the trouble to make the courtrooms of the Adelaide Magistrates Court a safe place for magistrates to work, a place where, no matter what technology they use, they do not risk r.s.i whenever they walk in the door.

Judge David Harvey of the New Zealand District Court, for all of the mentoring by email when I was trying to run a Youth Court using legislation based on the legislation he was implementing.

John Myrtle, research librarian and webmaster at the AIC, for all of the ideas, and the CDRom abstracts he send me by email whenever I need them; David Grainger of Window on the Law for seeing it as being important to keep the SA material current.

Sam Biondo of the Fitzroy Legal Service, for introducing me to the world of translating local publishing into cyberspace.

Chris Kania, for permission to use his cartoons, and Professor Katsch for his permission to use the decision diagram.

LuG PaJ (obsolete link) for putting the wonderful free animations on your website; Zygraphics for the free banners; the Free Site for telling me about LuGPaJ and Zygraphics; the New Page List for telling me about the Free Site, and for the award for my Flora (obsolete link) that has been so sadly neglected while I've been working on this presentation.

The registrar of the Mt. Gambier court, Greg Thomas, and the librarian at Mt. Gambier library, for permission to access court documents not available to the public.

Mr. Alan Hill of the "Border Watch", Mt. Gambier, for allowing me free rein, both in their private archives and on their photocopiers.

Mr. Alan Rose, for sending me an advance copy of the ALRC issues paper; an enormous help during the editing of this presentation.

Port Power (obsolete link) We've got the Power to win
Power to rule
come on, Port Adelaide aggression
We are the Power from Port
It's more that a sport
It's the true Port Adelaide tradition
We'll never stop, stop, stop
Till we're top, top, top,
There's history here in the making
Port Power to win
We'll never give in
Til the flag is ours for the taking
PORT POWER!

With our tradition so strong
We can't go wrong
We're the Alberton crowd
Port Adelaide proud
