We are close to signing VPF contract with GDC. I would like to hear from anyone who has signed with GDC. On the pros and cons.

I can tell you that they are great servers. Currently installing 75 of them. Don't know much about the contract side of the deal though.

VPF's through GDC is one of the more successful plans that could be had for the small owner..

We have GDC here but any specifics cannot be discussed by contract agreement. I think all of them have the same clauses.

You'll never know!

I think not being able to tell interested parties some details hurts them>

Who at GDC have you dealt with? I sent an e-mail to Peter Kim after being sent his way by a cinema equipment vendor and have not yet heard back after 3 days. I don't want to be pushy and send him another e-mail, so if somebody else has a better contact there it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Andrew I'm a lowly theater manager the contact with the GDC on on the VFP program and all the restrictions is carried out by those above my pay grade.

This stuff is on a "need to know" basis. Few technicians have access to the confidential contracts signed by their ignorant superiors. Louis

Yes a lot of those lowly managers and company tech's who aren't on the need to know, could tell the owner he is getting screwed if only they share the information.

I normally deal with Gwen Duong or Gray Eby. So far I have nothing but positives to say about GDC's service.
