Top Producer 8i (revisted)

I agree - it has taken me a long time to get used to 8i but I like it now and I am actually beginning to figure out how to use it thanks to Travis!

I understand the freak out when starting new software. I am still not comfortable with 8i - but I have not given it enough of my time. It's too easy to go back to 7i.

I felt the same way when 8i first came out. Now that I have forced myself to use it I find myself returning to 7i less and less. On of the things I like the most is being able to have my most used screens open in tabs. I still feel that 8i is less user friendly than 7i and requires more mouse clicks to get the job done but I realize I must eventually accept the new technology or get left out in the cold.

I have used Top Producer 5, 6, 6i, 7i, and 8i.  I have loved them all and found that each had only a slight learning curve, but excitedly learned new functions - with the exception of 8i.  I still can't get used to it.  In its defense, I don't use it as much as I once did - come to think of it, I don't use it because I don't like it as well.  I would still be using 6i if it was email capable and worked with Microsoft Vista.  Alas, it doesn't and I am paying for 8i and I don't really want it but I am stuck with it for a few more months.  When my contract is up I may go to another, which saddens me as I have been faithful to this product for many, many (1995ish) years.  8i was SOOOOO slow on my Treo 700wx that I removed it.  When I had 7i on it it worked fine.  Any good tips out there?
