The fact that you have to install software on your computer without knowing if it´s going to be as good as expected is a barrier for users. Getting the user to try your software, is just as difficult as making them use it. Focusing on just one of these issues is not enough. Online versions have an advantage when it comes to trying out the service. Anne,

I have some ideas for turning our application online, but I'm still torn about how much of a difference that really makes to users for an application like this. Is online better or worse? Less to install, but your data does go off your PC. However, it is easier to have a free entry-level product on line, which is clearly a boon.

We are still in the startup phase and will add new features and do things more smoothly as we go. Please give us feedback on how we can improve. Have you discovered how to start the timer 5 minutes earlier yet? After pressing play, go up in the time bar and hold your mouse button over the red line that appears. Then you can drag the start-time back to when you really started. Neat? ;) Halvor For Yast Hi Dean,
