John,
Do yourself a favor and go directly to Time & Chaos. You won't pay a =
fortune for some out-dated software. You'll get a tech service that is =
out of this world. You'll get one of the most flexible and most =
use-friendly programs out there. And for less than $100. It also syncs =
with the Palm devices.  www.chaossoftware.com=20
I've tweaked my program for the last 3 yrs and finally have running =
smoothly and effectively.=20
Oh...and I'm a recovering PTBIZ user.

  Greetings everyone!

  Resubscribed recently...if this is a recently discussed topic, please =
forgive.

  Is anyone using the technician software listed on ptg.org?

    ExecuKey
    PianoDB by D C Al Coda
    PowerTech
    PeakeWare

  If you are a user of any of the above, is your experience favorable? =
Would you recommend it?

  I'm looking to replace PTBiz since apparently it is no longer being =
sold or supported. (I'd hate to think about the mess I'd be in if =
something happened to the program or Hasp hardware key and I couldn't =
retrieve my data - yikes!)

  Any other software out there that is user-friendly, does invoicing, =
reminders, and accounting, and is priced under $400.00? Am I living in =
"dream world"? PTBiz has done everything that I have needed. While it =
certainly has its quirks, I like that it's compact and doesn't have all =
the "bells and whistles" that I don't really need.

  It seems to make sense to look toward a program that will allow data =
to be easily transferred into other programs, such as MS Access (or =
another popular database). That way, if a program becomes obsolete for =
whatever reason, one doesn't have to re-type all the data into the new =
program.=20

  Any ideas?

  Thanks,
  John Formsma
