I use Yard Office myself, till something better comes along and meets my wants. Y.O. is a good program, but still needs some improvements. I want to be able to list Coupler numbers, also wheel types and sizes. I know to some these are not issues. But keeping track of all things added, changed, and replaced is a big issue to me. Years ago I had a program by a company called Scottsville Business. Out of Scottsville, NY. Was one of the best programs I ever used. But it was DOS only and they at that time has no plans to make it Windows Compatible. From the best I know they are no longer in business. But still hope someone will come up with a excellent program on of these days. Till then I will use Y. O.
I do hope the guy who took over Y.O. really starts taking time to refine and make major updates.
We just had a big talk about Inventory software at our recent show. And all agree it’s time for a Ultimate Model RxR Inventory Software Program.

Just my thoughts; Bob

Any recommendations for a Mac user? I only saw one on your list that specifically said it would work with a Mac. Thanks!

I would give it a day or two. Could be the earthquake on the east coast. Could be the webhost is having problems. Could be the site is self hosted and the computer died.
