Well, I bought it and it came two days ago, but for some reason, it
does not like me and is refusing to start. Alex, poor guy, is on his
Thanksgiving vacation and trying to help me in spite of it! We'll
get it fixed once he gets back to his office.
The screen saver is nice, though.

Well, we got OrchidWiz up and running. Alex realized that the program
was not finding the database because my standard folder for programs
is C:\Programme (German Windows version), not C:\Program files. I
moved the folder to "Programme" and it works fine. Alex was so
concerned about my troubles getting the program to work that he
refunded my money. Wow! All of this, and free, too!

I love it already. It is really easy to use and has such great
features. The pie charts of the genealogy are great. And so many
pictures! Being able to look up the images of the parents is neat.
For example, I looked up Onc. Twinkle. Danny is right, that was a
no-brainer as far as flower count! And to answer Chris' question,
Moir has hybridized 1205 Oncidium alliance plants. Go ahead, check
them all out! ;-)

And I have only been browsing for about half an hour! Lord knows what
other features I will discover when I stop oohing and aahing over the
pics! I may just stay up all night ...

It still needs pictures, though. Can you imagine how much time you
would need to photograph *all* the hybrids and species? Al, he has no
pics of any of your crosses. What about it?
