reef log

[bgraves]

is there any good reef log programs or spreadsheet available online?

I don't know of any specifically, but here is what I like to use. I find having it online useful when seeking advice from others.

If you use a PC- download on the left.

I wish I could find something similar for my Mac.

Tried to download. It woun't finish. I have vista and I think that may have something to do with it. Vista the worst mistake ever.

Clearly you never had the misfortune of trying Windows ME.

Cool, been looking for something like this for awhile (free and feature packed) I just downloaded, installed and tested it on my Vista PC, and it works fine, so it is Vista compatible.

Whys, you're right about ME, worst MS OS ever! Vista gets a bad wrap, you just need good hardware for it to work well.

Vista is much better than any other OS. I have Vista and it downloaded in about 8 seconds. No problems at all. People that complain have no idea what they are doing with a computer. :D

You can just make your own on excel. It's a piece of cake.

FWIW I think Vista Sux :D

haha. I was expecting a comment like that sooner or later.

I second the use of a simple spreadsheet though.

Even a doodle pad...

Spreadsheets allow for sorting by column. I set mine up so I can sort by date, action (add, test, replace), etc.

You can create one of your own in Microsoft Excel very easily... here is the one I used to use.

Macs are a crutch. They have fewer compatibility issues because they have fewer choices, in almost every regard. They have never been a truly open architecture or received the same attention from hardware and software development. That has begun to change, but as that changes, Macs become susceptible to all the same problems as PCs. Some say it's worth it. I say PCs provide a great education thru necessity. :D
