+HardInfo was started in 2003, by Leandro Pereira, and has received
+contributions from many people over the years.
+
+There was a time it didn't even use a version control system. The early
+notes and changelogs were lost. Some important contributions were made
+by simply submitting bug reports or comments. For these reasons, it
+would be difficult to gather the names of all the people that
+contributed to the project.
+
