How the cat rating scale works.

The Technology Corner Cat Rating System
Products and services rate from 0 to 5 cats. If I give something 5 cats, it means that the application, service, or product meets or exceeds every essential performance metric. If you see a 4-cat or 3-cat rating, the application, product, or service is still a solid performer, but lower ratings indicate increasingly serious probmems ("issues" in today's vernacular). I recommend avoiding applications, products, or services with 2-cat or 1-cat ratings; in many cases, these are early development editions that will probably improve with age. Those few applications, products, and services that rate 0 cats should be avoided.

"Purrefect. Absolutely purrfect."
We love it. Couldn't be any better. This is the kind of rating we like to give. |
 |
|
"Makes me want to dance."
The application or product does everything expected of it and maybe a little more. Not quite perfect, perhaps, but close. |
 |
|
"I'm amused; but I'm easily amused."
You won't be disappointed by something with this rating, but it's missing some important features. Or at least it's missing features I think are important. |
 |
|
"Put it in the toy box for later."
Here's something that's heading in the right direction but probably needs another iteration or two of the development cycle. |
 |
|
"Has surprising 'features'."
They're not "bugs", they're "features". You'll want to wait a bit for a later version. |
 |
|
"Yikes! Put it in the litter box – the other cat's litter box."
Just say no. Vehemently. |

Creating the information for each week's TechByter requires many hours of unpaid work. Please consider dropping a little money into the kitty to help. If the Amazon Honor System graphic disappears (which it does occasionally) and you still want to make a contribution, this link should work. (Thanks!)
