Vendor Selection

[jchesser@mindspring.com (jake chesser)]

We too will be working to select a new Linac. I would be thankful to have
someone to share info with in this endeavor. I'm  imagining  a scenario
where users can grade different Linacs ( based on their experiences), on a
World Wide Web page. Similar to the survey done on the Yahoo home page.
Each grader could identify their occupation (ie. physicist, therapist,
oncologist). Questions could be asked of the usefulness of dynamic wedging,
portal imaging, multileave collimation, ect.   Are enough of our colleages
on the internet to supply a sufficient amount of data?
