    I have the trial version of Clips that was being handed out at Expo 2000 and I have not installed the program. I'll try to install this weekend and give you an update. I have tried Lawn Monkey, GroundsKeeper Pro and Quickbooks (all trail versions).<br><p>----------<br>--Disneyland on the Potomac - ICQ [icq]31223414[/icq]<br>www.go-emerald.com

    i have tried the trial version of CLIP and really had a hard time figuring it out. It is alot of money and to me does not seem worht the money unless you have big problems keeping your schedule memorized or have more than one crew. CLIP did i nice job of assisting me w/ my scheduling needs.<p>I now use Quick Books and i am very happy w/ wha tit does for me. although does not do routing

    We have been using Clip for the past six or seven years. It has proven to be on of the most valuable tools we have purchased. Pricey? Yes, but so are mowers, employees and gas. It does an outstanding job(so says my wife).

    I said this 20 times. We use Lawn Monkey. Ive tried clips and groundskeeper and all the other ones, Yes even quick books. We decided on Lawn Monkey, Routing Tech Support. Cost, plus it will due Pay Roll Exspenses Contracts, Billing, Ect Ect Ect.<br>Did I mention Price? that was the deciding Factor. Clips is to Exspensive and Lawn Monkey does the same thing plus more, Plus they are working on a QB link, And the Palm pilot Link as well. Check it out, Its worth it. Been using it for the past 10 months, Not 1 complaint from me.<p>----------<br>Dave<br>3B's Lawn Care Service

    I have used clips for about 6 months. I have the classic now. I started out with clips lite. I think it is a great software.

    Two reasons I didn't go with Clip: The customer quanity base is limited and its expensive.
