I just bought $100,000.00 worth of HG software for you guys who need it.

Another happy HIP user here.

Thanks Dominic.

[James E. Braun, CMI]

Me too!

Before one invest in $1000 of software I would want to know if it suits my needs.

Now some are part-time inspectors like me and some are newbies as you call them.
We both have a right to accept something that is free or pay for them.

In my choice, it was offered and I took it, but does not necessarily decide which one I will use.

Improvising is my repertoire, and I can make due without all the glorious sophisticated stuff out there, but when offered, and it saves me time and effort, I will be the first one to oblige and I think I speak for all the newcomers also.

The decision to make an offer such as this is solely the makings of the Administrator of this Association and nobody else.

Thanks

Marcel

You are absolutely right MC. Don't forget some full timers here are actually part-timers. Enjoy your new software and don't let the naysayers get to you.

Both are very good packages. No one is right or wrong for picking one over the other.

Agreed Nick!!

I'm a HG user, however I also support HIP. I purchased Dominic's software and I have never used it. Dominic deserves our support as does Russell, both are great supporters of NACHI and both have a great product.

InterNACHIGauge runs on Pocket PCs and Touchscreen Phones with Windows Mobile 5 or 6, as well as desktops, laptops and tablet PCs running Windows XP or Vista.

Well, that explains it, I am still on 2000 Professional. ha. ha.

Thanks Nicks! I appreciate it and Thanks to Russell!!
I can't wait to use it. I've been checking out the tutorials. A lot better than 3D! 10 times better!

Just think, 200 inspectors could have benefited instead of only 100.

Guess I wonder why you put up $$$ to give away HG rather than HIP which would have been less costly for the association to purchase and lets face the fact that Dom does so much for NACHI.

It must feel like a slap in the face to the guy.

Things are not always as they appear Bob.

Ditto. What a disgrace.

[James H. Bushart]

Again....Dom is marketing his product to ASHI and is preparing a template for ASTM SOP use for commercial inspections. Both of these facts make him a "disloyal" vendor and worthy of this action.

His focus is upon the development of a product that benefits the industry...not the NACHI exclusivity agenda.

On the other side of the coin is the vendor who has been rejected by ASHI due to his close proximity to NACHI, and his agreement to limit his template to Nick's personal SOP for commercial inspections (COMSOP) and to restrict its accommodation to ASTM.

Still, folks....it has been over 24-hours and 100 of these programs could not even be given away.

Meanwhile, persons from all associations continue to purchase Dom's.

What does that tell you?

[ldapkus]

Dom is doing well.

[ROBERT W. NEWLAND, JR.]

JB, Not sure what all the hard feelings are about giving NACHI members a "deal" on HG. I'm looking down now at the most recent copy of the ASHI Reporter and HG has a full page ad on the back cover. I looked at a lot of the ASHI member's websites and I saw a lot of sample reports using HG. I would say inspectors from all associations are buying HG too.

"What does that tell you?" Tells me both are good programs.

You gotta be kidding ,as I doubt if DOM is on other associations boards training them how to take over and flood the internet with their sites.

NACHI Inspectors practically rule the web with all the great SEO info that comes from the owner of HIP.

Just take a look at all the sites in the top ten and which associations members own them.
NACHI is a internet presence and the members are too thanks in no small part to DOM.

People like myself are greatfull as I for one derive much of my business through that method by making a decision not to step foot in RE offices to market.
No hat in hand for me.

The great web presence and look of my reports is all I need to win over my clients.
