We have come to the point where we have to make some difficult
decisions. We have been laboring in the dark ages, using Consort 32 HP
computers to analyze our patient data. The number of cases is steadily
increasing and the complexity is going through the roof. We have been
given a nice chunk of money to spend in the lab this year and want to
upgrade our analysis capabilities. BD wants to sell us their MAC system
with CellQuest at an inflated price that makes me sick. Some friends
have warned that CellQuest has its problems and suggest PC's with
WinList instead. WinList does look like a great program. We would like
to use an automatic loader, however, and BD's will only run with the
MAC. If only Verity made WinList for the MAC. I am looking for advice
reflecting personal experience with these systems. HELP!
