Nice job, Paul. Works well with my MacBook.

Only issue after the upgrade was it didn't retain my BidX serial #, seat, preferences, and recent lines opened. Just re-entered the info and it works great.

Thanks!

Holy crap! I second the motion, your efforts are greatly appreciated Paul! I was so lost today without BidX checking open time. Don't do well without all the colors and the trip landing on my calendar. Guess I've gotten lazy/stupid. Again, Paul, thanks for your hard worK!

Thanks Paul. Your efforts to keep up with the whimsical doings of the company are appreciated.

As a side note, I guess that's the final nail in the coffin of Fastbid. So long Fastbid, RIP.

Awesome! Thanks! Works great! Now, if there could be an I-Bidx for the iPhone....

Many including myself would pay generously for a similar open time search/listing app to simplify the grid entry problem on the iPhone, or anything to help the process. The screen is getting tinier every month.

Terrific work on the upgrade! As always, quick and easy for Mac. Appreciate your ongoing dedicated efforts, the best money I'll ever spend. They need to give you $10 million to go in and fix VIPS.

Yep, going to have to get BidX now also. I can only hold reserve so fastbid was still ok for me.

Thanks for the updates Paul.

Wait, didn't continue reading all the threads. Maybe I can keep my Fastbid! Way to go Nitefly84!
