I have been using ClassiCat since (I think) about 1997 and have transferred it from one computer to a replacement several times. I have never had it crash (and I use it several times a week) and have found it incredibly useful for storage of a wide variety of anecdotes and abstruse pieces of indo on composers, works, performers etc. It has become a vital database for me in addition to helping me find where on earth that recording of Boiko's Second Symphony is in my collection. More importantly - when I have lost my license number, been an idiot while trying to transfer the program from one computer to another, or just done something plain stupid, I have always received an empathic and swift response from Tim that has resolved my problem - and that is worth a huge amount in my view, compared with the relative inadequacy or high effective cost of technical support for other software I use daily. ClassiCat may be simple (an advantage in my world) and not have the bells and whistles of some later programs. But I find it extraordinarily useful, despite occasional minor nagging issues, and well supported by its creator. I'm sure Tim has not bought a new model Ferrari on the basis of his global sales - but this is software hat deserves the widest audience and support it can get.
