I'm still working on PP.
I have P3 loaded and I play with it every so often so I can be familiar with it to help my downline - but I prefer to use PP.

Some of you are going to be shocked that I am saying this:

Carolyn, Switch to P3! It really is awesome! There are some great features that you really don't see until you are using it. I switched March 1 and am still having some trouble adjusting because things look so different but it really is very user friendly.
 
I wish I could help with your question!

I agree with Beth. I finnaly made the switch too and although I am not as quick with P3 I do like many of the features.
 
Congratulations, Beth on switching to P3!! I knew you would sooner or later but glad to hear that you've done it. It does "grow" on you!!!!!!
 
Harriet, I was going to mention you specifically when I posted that I switched but I had a brain freeze as to your name.

I'm not sorry I waited though. They have gotten rid of a lot of the bugs (although there will be more I'm sure) and that would have frustrated me to no end.


...now to get the rest of my team switched over.
 
No problem, Beth. No program is 100% perfect but I do enjoy using it. The more I use it the quicker I am as I am used to it. It is a nice program. I liked the old program too but it was a case of that is what there was and learned it, they are constantly working on making P3 better all the time and adding some great features.

I am sure that now that you are using it your team will feel more comfortable within time and switch too.

I am still digging my heels in :(
 
I'm digging in with ya, Carolyn! I just got off the phone with HO's tech support and "Jimmy" told me he didn't know what the asterisks are but that they wouldn't affect us. Doesn't answer the question, but at least our computers won't blow up when we submit!
 
They're secretly trying to make you switch. -ah, ha ha ha ha

Well, I do know that they are making subtle changes to PP to make it work more like P3 - getting everyone ready for the eventual mandatory switch, I think.

Mommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! Beth's pickin' on meeeeeeeeeee!!!:cry:
 
No problem. It's a very comfortable couch, hey?

BTW, if anyone needs to call HO, do it now. Got through to both tech support and customer service immediately!
 
Don't worry, I haven't switched either. More a laziness thing!
 
Come sit with us on the couch and linger for a little bit, won't you? Chocolate? Wine?
 
Wine or whine?:D
 
OK- and that reminds me of a joke, in Carolyn's honor: What's a famous Jewish wine?I wanna go to Miami!
 
Hey, hey, hey! Watch it over there!
