I would like to thank the following people and suppliers for helping me assemble this collection. The number of devices that I've acquired from each source is the best count I have, and is current as of March 23, 2008.
The stars go to the suppliers who have helped me acquire the greatest number of items for my collection (one star for each 25 items). I'm not selectively endorsing any particular vendor, since I have had good relations with all of them, but these have gone out of their way to help me assemble this collection.
One of the vendors who acquired a number of devices for me pointed out that it may make the vendors "look bad" if I give them credit for selling me a device, but then write that I don't like it. I don't think that anyone should make this interpretation. Many of the devices in my collection were available from a number of sources, and in those cases I tried to be fair to everyone and spread the business evenly. Other devices were special orders, and not recommended by the vendors. I've even been sold devices on the condition that I don't ever use them because they are too unsafe! I'm identifying my sources for information only, and such an identification doesn't imply that the vendor endorses the device.
If I've missed the URL for any of the major contributers, please e-mail me and I'll correct it.
