Apparently there is a computer program called Forge Ahead.
One of the guys uses it on his computer when he gets home.
He suggested that I start getting the same program; but I would like to have a laptop, keep it in the truck when shoeing and type afterwards after each stop; what was done in that barn for the day.
He said they are having trouble with the program and the laptops.

Q: Has anyone using the Forge Ahead on a laptop? and has all the kinks be worked out of the system yet. He does know at all since he hasn't upgraded his system yet.

I'm about ready to buy a laptop soon and use this program. I have heard good things about it.
It will do the least or the most detailed billing you want.

I still use ink and paper still:eek:.

I don't know about the program but I'm looking at these laptops.

Cool little tool and not a bad price either. As far as the program not working on the laptop it would have to be some program interaction issue as a laptop is the same as a desktop computer.

I highly recommend Forge Ahead

I think Julie was the first to come up with a Farrier Program

Not ready yet, just shopping for now. Will want to start it for the 2010 year.
My laptop is my pen and paper for now.

I use it every day on a laptop, never had a single problem. I don't see how people do without it. I've said on other post that, "it's like having your own secretary." It's easy, and pays for itself in no time.

I've used Forge Ahead for years. I have a laptop consul in my truck that my laptop sits on. I run a printer off the cigarette lighter. Never a problem with either. Julie is always available to talk with if any problems. I've looked at many software but absolutely love Forge Ahead.

I have used Forge Ahead for years on a lap top with no problems.

Same here, no problems. I have used it every day for about 3 or 4 years on my laptop. Never had trouble of any kind. It was a good purchase.
