Good review writeup Kathy, I was going to buy it but now I will just
ask you! *G*
I will just stick to growing the plants etc.


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.

Alex had to save me too. Loaded right up on my desktop, hated my
laptop. He sent another CD, no worries. I haven't tried the
screensaver. What's it do?

Thanks for the information, Kathy. This sounds like something we ought to
have for when the judges come calling to our show.

It cycles grex pics along with their parents. Gets me drooling to get
the program going.

Why didn't it like your laptop? My PC says "Cannot start your
application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened
exclusively by another user." I have tried just about everything I can
think of.

We figured the 1st CD didn't like the laptop's picky CD drive. It kept
installing halfway, them a variety of errors would come up: file not
found, Please confirm access. I'd click on retry and pfft. nada. Alex
sent a new CD and voila, no troubles.

Sounds like a few bugs need to be fixed with the software.

Hi All, I have had Orchidwiz for a while-- didn't have any problem
installing it on Windows XP but I'm sure you will find Alex very
helpful if you do have a problem. The screensaver (that come free) is
fascinating. It shows a hybrid & it's parents & keeps changing. I can't
get passed Cattleyas but I'm sure there is more (seems to be endless) I
have noticed several people have added disclaimers saying they are not
in any way part of the company. I am not either. As a matter of fact I
had no clue who Alex was tho I go to the West Palm Judging a lot (he's
a student judge) I did introduce myself to him last judging. BUT I
probably sound like a salesman I'm so happy with this program. In a
previous post on this thread someone said "It kicks ass" Perfectly
stated !!! This program is an Orchid Wiz !! I'm sure it will be better
w/more photos but it has plenty now. Good Growing, Bill

I know! I was trying to decide if I sounded like a salesman, and vowed
to stop posting on the subject, LOL!! Its hard not to gush.

The real question is WHY the AOS is trying to create their own CD when
this one is here!!! Already done. Only for award photos?? That'd be
the only draw. And from what I understand there's an award photographer
who is holding out on their use of his photos, so they are going ahead
without his pictures anyway.

No, Alex assumes my problem was a mistake on his part when burning the
CD. He is sending me a new one.

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?

Sounds like Alex is a good developer/businessman! From what you have said,
if he wants to support PDAs, optimally using a web application, feel free to
pass my email address, or the URL for my website, to him with the comment
that because of your experience, I am willing to help him as time allows. I
like to encourage developers with his attitude toward service as much as I
am able.

Cheers,

Ted

He was very friendly, very helpful, and very courteous. And I am sure he
will be glad to take you up on your offer!
