YAHOO!!! Thanks Bruce and Alex. Now I will part with some of that Christmas money I was given last year to buy Orchid Wiz with. This news made this a very Happy Day!
Hi Bruce do you know if this is shipped to UK i just tried finding out on their site but cant see any delivery info section.
Thanks Bruce will be ordering shortly when Emma isnt looking LOL
All ordered and for anyone from the UK paying by PayPal it will cost £143.31 that includes delivery.
Nice one for this Bruce :-)
Wow, Bruce, great offer. Now I just have to beg, borrow, or (no won't) steal the cash to get it. This would make it so much easier for me to manage to look up info on my orchids. I don't have the time to surf the net until I get it right.
Excellent, excellent, excellent! I should be able to post this on our society's website. Should I link back here or just cut and paste the page with the info?
Wow, what a deal! A bit pricey for me still...I'll have to sleep on it & see if I can swing it. But meanwhile, I have sent it on to our OS webmaster, as I suspect some of the folks with larger collections than I will be quite interested. Thanks!
