_______

askSam: Introduction please?

William J. Sarasin.

askSam:  Can you tell me how you use askSam?

William J. Sarasin: I use it to note, and keep track of, all my activities, e.g. readings and research; assignments; meetings and consultations.

askSam: How has askSam made your job any easier, or faster or more efficient?

William J. Sarasin:  I can, with AskSam, very quickly recapture past activities to make ongoing consultations easier.  Best of all, at month's end, end of quarter and at other points that require summary reports, AskSam makes such tasks a snap! I also have created some contact databases that make tracing names and phone numbers, locations, etc. very easy.

askSam: Why did you choose askSam over other products?  

William J. Sarasin: I was familiar with AskSam from years ago, in the "DOS" version.

askSam: How does askSam compare to some of the other programs?  

William J. Sarasin:  askSam for Windows is just plain simpler and faster  -- besides you don't have to program anything!

askSam: How do you plan to use askSam in future?

William J. Sarasin: I will continue in the same fashion and, as I get better with AskSam, undoubtably will find new applications.

askSam:  Would you recommend askSam and Why?

William J. Sarasin:  I would...and do....recommend AskSam for anyone who has to maintain and recapture a variety of different information types, such as in my work as a Public Health consultant.
