About NRG^

Most accomplishments start with one simple bright idea. The same goes for this site, NRG^. Over the past few years the WWW has seen a rapid growth from an easy user-friendly way of presenting useful information over the internet to the current number one position as bandwidth surge on the internet. Apparently everybody seems to have their own idea of what "useful" information exactly is. So do we. Back in late 1993, the sytem administrator of the Deborah Gibson mailing list initiated the first World-Wide Web page dedicated to songwriter, producer, performer, actress, musician and musical star Deborah (Debbie) Gibson. After initially being called "Nova", the page grew steadily to become the WWW site you see on your browser today.

The NRG^ domain was once spread over four sites: in California (USA), Georgia (USA), and Italy, supporting not only the WWW pages you see before you now, but also the already mentioned mailing lists, a huge FTP site, and a Virtual World where fans could interact.

The NRG^ team consisted of L. de Braal who is responsible for the content of this site, and Jonathan Bradshaw, who handled system administration duties. Please note that we are just fans, like you, and that messages to Deborah or the D.G.I.F. fan club are misplaced if and when sent to us.

This site wouldn't be what it is today without the help, both direct and indirect, from numerous people. Realizing that many will remain unnamed here, we'd like to show our gratitude towards others by recognizing their efforts on this page.

Many thanx go to:

Myra Wong and Felix Ng, for running the BtL Newsletter and affiliated mailing lists for so many years.
Jeremy Lapus, for creating all those great logos.
Steve Brown, for his supporting sysadmin activities and contributions.
Take Vos, for running the CD-ROM side of the NRG^ domain.
Kazuto Okayasu and Raymond Wong, for providing transcripts and soundfiles.
Shmuel Ross, for keeping track of the Hotline for new messages and letting all of us know if it changes.
... and the entire Deborah Gibson on-line fanbase, for their support of Deborah Gibson.
