It takes a while to get it customized but once you do, it is very easy

to run.

Like most windoze apps, that complexity is actually just the ability

to make it what you want and not what some guy in California decided

you wanted.



The other great thing about this version of Agent is it is just an EXE

file. You don't "install" it. You can copy the directory off to a

thumb drive and take it with you, running on any windoze machine you

are sitting on. When you take the drive out, it is gone from that

machine without a trace and you have the updated database with you.

That is handy if you want to log on from a hotel machine..


WHICH VERSION, DAMMIT??

I'm using the 32 bit version of Agent 7.20 - It works fine under
Win7 and is a significant improvement over some of the older versions
that I've used.

Eight has touch screen support



Understood, which is why I mentioned smart phones.

The guitar shop has a laptop running Win 8 but it's not touch screen.
Horrible to use.

What's the diff? He doesn't use Win 7.
But I run an old version of Agent on Win 7.
Works perfectly.
Version is Win 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1.
Best OS I've ever used.

If you can find someone who is familiar with Win8 tricks, it is
possible to make it act like the Win7 desktop.

If you were that curious you could have looked at my headers.


Is it possible to look at headers in Google Groups? My Agent 6 somehow got busted in the transfer process. Even trying to reinstall it from the last download didn't work.
