I know Laps-Free is well, erm... free, but i am amazed at these clubs who moan & bicker about the cost of the timing hardware then think nothing of spending hundreds on software & a laptop/PC to run it! I know Ilaps comes with Laps-Free, but i dare bet some clubs have upgraded to more "prefessional" software"
I will admit i'm impressed with laps Free, but can't help thinking because it's free is it really that good, because i would imagine the paid versions are a lot more thought out. But in saying that, a high price on things these days doesn't exactly determine better quality, it may just mean the people who create it are greedy.

Regardless of the fact that lapsfree is perfectly usable, there's the fact that even if you do buy software, £300 is still only a small percentage of the cost of an AMB timing system.
