This should be interesting. About 90% of my games are with ABW.

I heard they will go out of business on December 31.

Peace

Jeff,

According to the letter posted on their website, that is correct.

Once you're up to speed on Arbiter, you'll never look back. Far superior in every aspect IMHO

One of my close friends and partner uses this site. He was contacted directly.

I already use the Arbiter and used this program first. I cannot stand ABW because of the fact everyone sees your assignments. I can limit that on the Arbiter. I am glad that they would have to use the Arbiter over ABW any day.

Peace

Zebra Web
One of my assignors switched to Zebraweb.org from ABW.
Very similar to ABW.

From the perspective of one of the grunts in the field. I've been getting games using the arbiter longer than ABW. Arbiter is far superior. IMHO.

Not 'far,' but better, yes.

Arbiter isn't just better, or far better, it is far, far, superior!

You and your love obsession with breakfast foods. You don't happen to like green eggs and ham by chance?

I just picked up an ABW customer from the NH/Mass. area on RefTown....got all of his stuff converted and ready to roll in a just a few hours.

I've also spoken with an assignor from Chicago who is part of a group of assignors and hope to speak with them some more.

All I can say is that that RefTown is always comes out favorably when givean a true comparison with any other product.

I'm also offering a full year free for anyone converting from ABW. Why? I know they'll be satisified and stay. I've pick up other ABW customers in the past and they have never looked back.

Smooth Transition Vowed; Minions Double Over Laffing
When the IT people promise a smooth transition in a conversion from one program to the other, cover the young 'uns ears, because it usually isn't and the language is about to get very colorful
