What people are saying about askSam...

"How do I rate askSam?  Simple. I have lots of software on my system and their icons fill my screen.  In looking at them I think that if somehow I was limited to just three applications, I would chose Netscape, Quicken and askSam.  askSam is that good!"

Ed Lesnick, Reviewer, Island Computing

"I've used a lot of different tools for searching, but I've yet to find anything that approaches the depth, variety, strength, and sophistication of the search tools that askSam provides."

"There is a not better tool for a journalist or an online researcher...period! askSam can be set up to work the way *you* work!"  

Shirl Kennedy, Internet Waves Columnist, Information Today

"Let's face it, the trend is away from taking notes by hand and moving quickly toward using the computer for everything.  With this in mind, one of the most exciting software products I've seen in a long time is called askSam.  If you've never used a database before, or have been put off by the complexity and/or limitations of existing databases, you're going to love askSam."

Barbara Florio, FreeLance newsletter, Nov/Dec 1996, p 43.

"I've spent nearly three years conducting research into the phenomonon known as Gulf War Syndrome. My forthcoming book on the subject will be published later this year. askSam was the single most important research tool I used in researching the manuscript. I was able to download data from DoD's GulfLINK internet site, search it using askSam, and put together a comprehensive picture of the locations of Iraqi chemical weapons sites in Kuwait....sites where U.S. Gulf War veterans may have been exposed to chemical agents. You folks make an awesome product...keep up the outstanding work!"

"Your [askSam's] customer support is without doubt the finest in the industry. I get to a live person every time I call, not some &%*&^% electronic call director. The call is answered within 6 rings and I am talking to a technician within seconds. Your service has been outstanding for the past 9 years and puts most other companies to shame."

Bruce Ritchie, NetStorm Technologies Inc., PhotoByte Ltd.

"I would like to share with you my experience with the very best software company, askSam Systems. The program, askSam, is an information-retrieval program. It has more capabilities than I had ever expected; its structure is very flexible and friendly; and it comes with one of the best manuals in the business. But askSam's technical support is where this company really shines. I always get a person who is polite, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable."

"I've used many different tools for managing and searching my research data, but I've yet to find anything that approaches, the depth, flexibility, and power of the research tools that askSam provides."

Andrew Schneider - Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist

"As a an author and editor, I surf the Internet for hours at a time. If it weren't for askSam for Windows, the Internet would be nothing more than a vast waste land for me. askSam helps me turn data and information captured from the NET in to useful and strategic resources."

Valda Hilley - Convergent Press, Ltd.

"askSam has consistantly performed with their data base products winning Product of the year from us for 3 years running. Their move to the web will in my opinion produce many more awards..."

Graeme Gibson, C.D.P. - Host - Computers Today on Television

"A database called askSam is an absolute necessity for those who use the Internet for research. While most database managers require users to become amateur programmers, askSam is a free-form database designed for non-geeks who want to store masses of text and index it quickly."

"askSam's more sophisticated Web Publisher allows even mildly experienced Netheads to put their own search engine on the Net - as long as they also provide the material to be searched (it won't, alas, replace Alta Vista or Open Text)."

Jack Kapica, Cyberspace Columnist

The Toronto Globe and Mail

"This [askSam] makes it simple and easy to turn home pages or any information found on the Internet into a personal searchable database"
