Even without the scheduler I found PTBiz to be quite a breath of fresh air! I've always felt that Dean's program was never quite finished. There have been a number of shortcomings over the years, all of which are addressed by PTBiz. I plan to order the full version as soon as I can find the time to transfer all my files over. (no small task)! I feel that for someone just entering the arena of recordkeeping on a PC, PTBiz is a much more forward thinking solution than is PSM. Anyone want to buy my copy of PSM when I buy PTBiz? Oh!, and PTBiz doesn't require a dongle to hang off the parallel port connection. This could be a big deal on a laptop! PTBiz is also priced much more in line with what a program of this caliber should cost. JMHO! Greg Newell Greg and Mary Ellen Newell Greg's Piano Forte` Lakewood, Ohio 44107 gnewell@en.com
