     18 <ul>
     19 <li>Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the
     20 <a href="http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html"
     21 target="_parent">SSEC Visualization Project</a> at the University of
     22 Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
     23 Mesa as part of that project.
     24 <br>
     25 <br>
     26 <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
     27 order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
     28 substantial piece of work.
     29 <br>
     30 <br>
     31 <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
     32 Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
