The
only reason why we tried the sofware was because we heard you were not going to
be able to make that ride. lol Plus we had a back up
plan. We gave you the wrong forest.....
I remember doing
that at a ride where the S/W was being used. I changed horses and distances on
them - I was not their favorite person:-). I suspect I was the first to do
this.
Part of the problem, as you know, is when all the requirements
are not defined up front you end up with a product that has some
"warts." Any product that will be useful in the long run will have to
address how the sport really works, people show up unannounced, they show up
with different horses, they change distances, they get divorced, they have a
name change, they have a lobotomy, etc...
I
used the software once at a ride. I would rather just do pen and
pencil. If you enter the information as the entries come
in before a ride you are bound to dislike the software. Reason
being. People do not always stick with the mileage they sign up for,
they do not always ride the same horse they sign up for. To change
this information during registration is tedious. People do not want to
wait in line for you to fix the info. Then you have those that are not
registered and have to sign them up.
Then you have the in timer and out timer. Nancy is fast
with her system she has. A computer would slow her down. Not to
mention where Nancy is usually put most like does not have
electricity. Then you have the problem of not having enough juice to
run it all day.
Sometime a computer is not the answer at the time but possibly after
for data storage and stats.
