Hi,

I've been lurking off and on for years .. but this is my first post.

I've been a bit overwhelmed by all the devices that are discussed here so have tried to categorize them in some way. I haven't seen a summary anywhere -- please let me know if I've missed it.

This is a work in progress!! I am nowhere close to finished, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case a) I'm wasting my effort because a similar list already exists and b) because I'm hoping some of you will take pity on me and help me out Smile

I copy/pasted this from another program and it looks like it's lost its formatting ... ugh. Oh well, I'll do my best to make it readable.

I welcome all feedback, edits, additions!
