I did it - OrchidWiz
 

I have been debating about this for quite a while and finally broke down.

I debated for so long. :scratchhead: Did I want to spend the money for OrchidWiz, or save that money towards the purchase of a new camera????? I decided my photography skills :photo: didn't warrant an expensive camera. OrchidWiz won out.

I also wondered if I could use the program if I bought a lap top, if all my files will transfer so I could use them on both. The way I understand the info, it will work even if I update to a different windows program. I hope I understand it correctly. I have bought computer programs which did not transfer. I hate going out to buy another program. :poke: I think of all the orchids I could buy for that extra money
........Waiting

Cool Marilyn!
You will love it!

If you have any problems at all, just contact Alex and he will help you. He's a very nice guy and always ready with an answer. I've never had a problem with the program but I have contacted him about other things and always got a quick response.

If you have any questions about using the program, you can always contact me and I'll try to answer your questions. I know I haven't used a lot of what the program offers but have played around with it enough to know how to answer basic questions.

Hi Marilyn...congrats on your new Orchid Wiz program.

I have been debating on getting this program myself, and decided to wait until after this Saturday (10/18) before making my purchase. It will depend on whether or not....

...I pass the color test part of the application process for becoming an AOS student judge! :yikes: I'm a little nervous, but yes, I have decided to take the plunge into judging chids at one of the AOS judging centers here in Florida. I will keep you posted. :biggrin:

I'm also bringing one of my vandas for exhibition and judging...hopefully I will have two pieces of good news to share on Sunday. :D

You go, David!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
We'll all be rooting for ya! (/udb)

I just got a copy of OrchidWiz a few weeks ago (finally!) and I am absolutely satisfied. I dont know if you are familiar with the Baker care sheets (http://www.orchidculture.com/), but they are included in the species analysis in a much more visually friendly format than is posted on the Baker website. You'll love it!! Not to mention the fact that our very own Mauro Rosim is a HUGE contributor to the pictures of many orchids. An excellent resource!

Congratulations David!! That's a very cool way to give back to your hobby. You'll do great! Super good luck to your plant too. :)

Marilyn, you can install the OrchidWiz software on up to 2 computers and pretty sure it works with the latest and greatest (?) windows oerating system. Enjoy!

Yeah great program, you will get a lot out of it I'm sure.

Congrats, Marilyn
 

I sure to like mine. Talk about a wealth of information!!:bowing :biggrin:

I would love to have the program, and was seriously thinking about getting it, until I saw the price! :faint:
