Oh yeah? What tools do you need? Maybe I can help find you decent ones
<smile>...

Are you using quick books <smile>? If you want to to real accounting, you
might want to consider open source accounting software.

Only people who never used computers that actually work use Windoze,
because they don't know that there is better. Already back in the 80's the
workstations that used graphical interfaces were able to recover from a
crash of an application without the SysAdmin having to get up from his
chair, and most of all without the loss of any data. I saw it, I was
there, I can testify <smile>.

Microsoft and AOL are leading to same combat: preventing as much as
possible any evolution in IT, so that they can skim as much as possible
the money of the unaware general public.
