Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post - TrackMaster Variants (Evil or Misunderstood?)

If I recall correctly Doc was initially against automatic downloads for pp data. Only by working very closely with Ellis Starr at Trackmaster and after many trips back and forth to Trackmaster and O'Henry House was he satisfied with the adjustments that was to be made with Pace-Launcher, Synthesis,etc.

It seems to me when Trackmaster made these changes no-one was notified about them. I would have to think that Doc Sartin would not have accepted the current state of affairs as it was so contrary to what he knew to be true.
Perhaps downloads is not a major moneymaker for Trackmaster so they may be putting their resources elsewhere. Looking at all the other software developers out there I cannot think of anyone using Trackmaster Data.

HTR (Ken Mansa) - HDW data
SYNERGISM VI (Bob Purdy) - HDW data
HSH (David Schwartz) - HDW data
Equisim - Bris Data
All In One - HDW data
Netcapper - HDW data
JCAPPER - Bris and TSN Data
Pace Appraiser (Randy Giles) - Bris Data
Master Magician (Michael Pizzolla) - Post Time Solutions
Power On-Line (Steve Wolfson) - BRIS or TSN
Trackmaster SW (Trackmaster) - Trackmaster

I was wrong Trackmaster uses Trackmaster data. The Pace Advantage BBS had a poll about the worst software. Trackmaster SW came in first by a large margin. I like Trackmaster's price $1.00 for a download, but really have to wonder if we would be better off with this download without any pars or variants. I apologize for going on like this but I really have all the members of this BBS in mind when I am posting this. Ted, is busy developing a software product that may overcome this problem. Since Ted was asking for some input these are only my opinions on data providers.
