Gear

This section of the website lets us post comments and opinions on the various manufacturers and vendors who have supplied us with equipment or services for Dream Catcher.

For some reason, it's easier to write about the really bad ones than the really good ones, but I'm not sure why. Now that the new website is up and running, I'll spend some time and try and add more to this list. Keep in mind, these reports reflect my personal experiences and your mileage may vary.

The following extremely scientific scale was used to rate vendor/manufacturers. At the top of the scale is 'Mega-sweet', followed by 'Sweet', both of which denote a positive review. 'Lame' is the middle of the road, fairly indifferent, neither outstandng nor horrible rating, while below average is represented with a 'Sucks Ass'. Totally evil and incompetent companies receive the bottom of the barrel, "Hall of Shame" rating, as they should in fact, be ashamed.

By clicking on a vendor's name below, you can read the detailed story of how and why we gave the rating we did. Enjoy.
