Which is better- Home Inventory Pro 2011 vs HomeManage Inventory
1867293
I used to use HomeManage until it stopped working and their tech support would not respond. I had input almost everything we own and did not want to start over from scratch as I couldn't import my data from HomeManage into Home Inventory. It went easier than I thought as I had HomeManage in Excel format. Not easy but doable. I found out there was legal action against the company through BBB of Canada. That didn't help me it turned out. So I bought Home Inventory Pro 2011 and find that I really like it. Funny thing, last week I got an email from HomeMange to upgrade and I was wondering if they are under new management. I won't go back though. I'm happy with what I have.

Assuming you have FULL versions of W7 and W8.1, each 64 bit, then your choice is which version do you want. Either, in your case, will require the same work on your part. The pro version of W7 is somewhat equivalent to the pro version of W8.1 so you could go either way. The home premium version has lesser functionality so I would go with W8.1. (Too bad your hard drive failed and you downgraded to 32 bit.)

The professional has a larger canister, wider cleaning path, hardware floor attachment and is a different color.depends on what kind of floors you have. To what you should choose.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I bought the Hobart 210 only because I'm usually financially embarrassed. I had a tough enough time reaching for the 210, let alone that upper shelf 211. But, the 211 is supposed to be the better machine. And, if you're just the typical homeowner, the Hobart 140 would most likely be all that you would ever need and at half the cost.

While I think the MAC Pro decision is questionable ;) I do recommend the LaCie. I have more than one drive. there are different ways to safeguard the data, if you use mirroring you are basically duplicating (backing up on the fly) everything that you write of the drive and if the drive fails you go to the mirror, with this option you utilize only 50% of the drive storage.the other option (and the one I use) is RAID 5. you use 80% of the storage capacity but if a drive fails, you can still read the date normally till you replace it. if more than one drive fail at a time then you are out of luck and should never buy lottery tickets :) While I think the MAC Pro decision is questionable ;) I do recommend the LaCie.

DS713+ is best suited for business use. Is a more robust system. The DS214+ is intended for home use. So if you are looking for something to have at home to store the pictures of your kids, some files and videos. the DS214+ will do the job. But, if you are looking for a NAS storage for your small business and can't afford at the moment the more expensive models with 4 or 5 bays, the DS713+ is a good start. later on you can attach the DX513 for expansion. Cheers!!

I purchased it for business use. Needed professional for certain programs. If it wasn't for those systems would have purchased home operating system.

There's a tad more horse power in the 300. 2.2 vs 2.0. Additionally, the 300 comes with a 64 oz container that's wider at the base so has a lower profile. The selling point is that it fits under "most" upper cabinets.

This is the best option for me. I went to Home Depot and all they have is a different model wherein you have to install everything from scratch. Overall it's cheaper at Amazon.

Yes, they are identical in capability. The "Pro" allows unlimited VIN's whereas the $300 version is limited to use on three (3) VIN's. The first three different vehicles you plug into will fill the three VIN slots and you'll be limited to those vehicles. The only difference is that the hobbyist would probably have no more than three vehicles in the year/model range that this works on. The "Pro" version is for a commercial business entity that would be working on hundreds of vehicles in this year/model range and required unlimited VIN capability. Essentially you're paying for "unlimited" use with the "Pro". Not to un-necessarily plug the product, but as a single vehicle owner, this device is amazing in what it is able to tap into the vehicle and do. The first time I used it was after installing a new battery and reconfigured/resetting the charging system to recognize/accept the new battery. That first use alone almost paid for itself (compared to what the BMW dealer was charging for a new battery and reset). And all in simple English, drop down menus just like most of the end-user software we all use everyday. No deciphering number/letter codes. The one question I had about a specific functionality, early on, was answered quickly and completely by their tech help. $300 doesn't grow on trees, but if you're a DIY'er with this caliber of automobile, it's well worth the money.

I am leaning towards the 230 mainly because of price. I compared the 230 and 240 in a side by side list and other than a difference in programs (240 has more) and warranty (230 is better) I don't see the advantage in paying $50 more.

I called Energy support to get opinion on which one is better. In support person's opinion, Take Classic is little better as the speakers are little larger and fill the room (with sound) little better.

Hello,I remember choosing between the two as well. What I found out is it was the same (tray load). Its lower price is due to the fact that it doesn't come with the Multimedia Suite, which I didn't want anyway.

In my opinion the additional $70 for the Gold over the Silver is worth it. Basically, what the Gold has that the Silver does not is the LCD timer, the larger work table and the charcoal bin. These are all simply convenience items but I use them all.

The mac book pro is better than Hp's laptop computers. I have used both the Hp dv6t and the mac book pro computers. The mac operating software is better than Windows 7. The track pad on the mac book pro is far better and more accurate that the "gesture pad" on the Hp laptop computers. If you could afford the mac, then go for the mac. The mac apps are also cool and readily available.

I tried both. This (older) model is much richer and powerful, though still intended for smaller spaces; single rooms, etc.
