A quick update regarding bonsai software .......

Over the weekend I managed to locate, download and test (initially) two
software applications.
A program called Virtual Bonsai located at
http://www.jfpinc.com/bonsai_dl/index.htm appears to be an interesting use
of computer graphics used to create and nurture an e-bonsai. Cute tool but
not much good for documenting your bonsai collection.
A second program called Aceana 2001 located at
http://www.monbonsai.com/aceana/en/index.htm appears to be a good method
of
documenting the history of your trees with TONS of useful documentation
features.
Given another week, I will attempt to provide a complete evaluation of
these
two tools.
In addition, I've located a number of rather outdated software databases
created for Windows 95 and 98 which I have yet to download.

In the interim, does anyone know of other applications supporting our art
form ?

Joe;

Thanks for your offer to test bonsai software.
As you can see in my last response, I've tested a few apps under XP and
2003.
Everything I've located so far runs on MS OS's.
I'm not aware of any app that runs on the MAC.
If you can find something that's MAC friendly, then maybe we should compare
notes.

So far, my money goes Aceana, although I have a few more to test.

Regards
Mark Hill
