MouseManager sounds good- anybody NOT like it?

[TexasErin]

I asked a question yesterday about looking for a tool to help keep track of points. I have done a little research and found Mouse Manager. It looks great. Does anybody have any experience with it?

Thanks,
Erin

Never heard of it...but now you've got me interested in learning more!

We need something to help us keep track of what we have borrowed and banked so that we don't screw up and not have enough points for vacations down the road. This is why I really wish that we had all our points at AKV.

Developer hasn't done anything with the app for a couple of years now. You might want to take a close look at the point charts before you get too far into it. It's possible that the changes to the charts made for 2010 and 2011 have never been accounted for.

This is true. I was using MouseManager but they are no longer updating it for point charts. The 2010 changes are not available, so basically, it's worthless. I use a spreadsheet for planning and Caskbill's program for tracking. Caskbill's is good as long as you don't have too many points to track. You have to purchase another plan to track more points, and they are not selling it any more, but they are now updating it for point charts. It's a very nice program!

I was going to get Caskbill's program, but the instructions say that it is only for PCs and I have an Apple IMAC.......

I think they may have the updated Caskbill programs available for purchase for those needing to track higher numbers of points than the free version allows. You might try to contact Caskpeg.
