Hi Bill I've been using Fileguard and Fileguard Remote for several years now with few problems, I use it to log the usage of two Caliburs and two scans. I now have people log in under grants and do the billing once a month. The MACs do crash sometimes which may be something to do with Fileguard but not more than once a day. Took me a while to figure out how to get a text file into excel and process it into a usage chart but I have it down now so that it takes about 15 minutes to do all 4 machines. There are a few tricks to using the program but I like it.

I guess my biggest questions is: are they really compatable with the Mac computers? I am afraid that by adding more software, I am going to make my computer prone to crashing more, or being more 'buggy'. Unfortunately, my current system for keeping track of users who access the facility after hours doesn't let me discriminate between users who are using the instrument and users who are coming in to sign up for time. (They get logged in, but not logged out). Does BD suggest one program over another? Thanks for your input Bill Nostrom Beth Israel Deaconess Boston, Mass
