Unsolicited Testimonials

June 28, 2010

I wanted to drop you a line to say how much I love the Zip-Test Pro software and TI-89 calculator package after six months of use. How shall I count the ways?

Starting with the instruction manual: clearly and technically written, yet conversational, logical and easy to navigate. Being a technical writer myself, I appreciate how difficult it can be to write for an audience of wide-ranging interests, applications and expertise. In this you have clearly succeeded and I may use your writing style when my audience is broader than engineers and technicians. 

Moving on to the software itself and how it benefits me: I  have been in the HVAC design, engineering and energy conservation business for over 30 years in various capacities. Within this and as a sub-specialty, I perform blower door tests, IR thermography, energy audits, building science evaluations and so-on. Even with familiarity with the principles and processes, using the ZipTest Pro package in concert with that, enables abundant, "what-if?" scenarios to emerge. Together or alone, it enables me to cement alternative approaches in a more sound financial framework. The cross-pollination between the activities and applications  is undeniable to me.

A bonus of this is in how my own mind works; how I learn. Using the  "Nuggets"  feature,  (which is probably 80% of my usage in practice), enables me to 'think differently' and further lock-in the "how, why and by how much?" questions. By looking at situations from other angles and approaches, the effects of each variable becomes instantly apparent and the values both qualified and quantified. In short, the tool has been an investment of greater value than I had anticipated. A good tool yes, but also a honing stone for my mind and a way to add value to my clients. Your product has been a remarkable asset in a number of ways, some  probably not even intended.

Good Morning, I will be sending off another TI-89 this afternoon to have you load the software into it for me.

I am very satisfied with the new program and truly do enjoy the new features that you have added. I am finding more and more all the time, which is great because it has reduced time for us actually doing the calculations long hand. So, I wanted to say thank you again.

Cheers, Mike from New Hampshire
