PLEASE READ Animal Record Keeping Software

[Texas Dan]

True, there are a lot fewer variables involved.

A lot fewer variables? I disagree, if anybody knows anything about the internet/computers.. it is ALWAYS safer to have data backed up off site than on site. Web Servers (Especially the good ones) are generally backed up in at least 3 different locations in different states.

So lemme know, which is safer..

Having your data backed up on your computer (which can crash way easier than a server) or having your data backed up all over the country and accessible from all over the world?

And if you say you're information is safer from hackers on your computer than it is on a professional web server, you're insane or very ignorant.

Those of you that use Degei, send me a link to one of your snakes so I can see the records you've kept.

Or send me a link to your snake so I can set it up as a breeder to this snake I have here. Oh yeah, and I don't want to have to put all the information on your snake in my computer, I'd rather just click a button.

Ouch... you can't. Because it's only stored on one computer.

Oops, one of my kids spilled coke on my PC.. all my records are on there? What am I going to do now? Shell out hundreds, if not thousands to get the data back? And at that, you can't really get the data back if a hard drive is shot, just several bits and pieces that you will have to put back together. And it'll probably be a bunch of numbers and IDs that you've never seen before because it happens behind closed doors.

I'm sorry I'm being argumentative here, and again, this is NOT a knock on Degei, because I've downloaded it, and it's some pretty good software.

The arguments that you guys are presenting about software vs a website can be shot down by the fact that the web is THE BEST place to store information. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
