Links to Other Places
Wouldn't it be incredible if traveling to exotic locations, countries or even other worlds would be as easy as clicking a link on your computer screen? Maybe... but often times, spur-of-the-moment exploring of new areas on the way to an intended destination can be unexpectedly rewarding. The old adage of "getting there is half the fun" I find often to be true - even, sometimes, on the Internet. If you're passing through this site on the way to somewhere else in cyberspace, I hope that you'll agree.
This links page contains, well... links. It is not very comprehensive, but it may be useful. There are many more equipment manufacturers out there than I care to list on this page, so I am only including a select few that are of personal interest to me. (Please note that the presence or absence of a particular company or product does not indicate an endorsement or rejection of that comapny or product.) Some sites are hard to navigate and, where I thought it helpful, I have included additional links. If you know of any other links that might be of interest, given the theme of this site, or you notice a broken link, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I will presume that by being here, you likely want to navigate away from my site, so links will not open in a new page...
