A short story introducing Tracy Crosswhite. Explains how she started out and sheds some light on her character. If your going to read any of the series you owe it to yourself to read this one. Enjoy!

I have used Quickbooks for more than 10 years. I don't use certain features of the program, however I am pretty aware of their operation. Many of the core basic elements of the product have been the same for many years. This applies ot many business software products (IE Office and the like). For most there is little need to upgrade more than once every 3-4 years or more. Intuit wants that revenue stream and when a new OS comes out they always warn you that they dont support the product you have under the old os. For the most part users will not have any issues. I upgraded today from 09. In order to "activate" the product I had to call some offshore operator who wanted to pitch me payroll service while she waited for the activation code. This is a stall selling technique and frankly nobody is going to sign up listening to some operator in choppy English pitch you anything. Intuit tries to sell you merchant processing, online doc backup, payroll table updates (TOTAL RIPOFF) I use an online payoll service that fully integrates with qbooks and files everything electronically plus you print the checks yourself. That solution saves a ton compared to quickbooks that charges yearly for the tax tables even though in some cases the tables may not change from one year to the next. The 2010 version seems faster than 09 running on Windows 7. They are too pushy with registration. The force you to fill out a questionaire whether you want to or not. If they could force you to upgrade yearly I think they would do so. Bottom line this is a solid do it yourself accounting product. Upgrading probably makes sense for anyone running 2006 and Vista/Win7.

It is THE go to book on Style, editing and grammar. I first became familiar with Strunk when I was attending the University of Memphis. it has been a welcome part of my writing library since those days of long ago. I can attest that the quality of my writing has been frequently enhanced because I turned to this little volume for guidance. Worth every penny if you write on a regular basis.

So far so good, would give it 5, but don't know how long it is going to last. Much better than paying 35 dollars elsewhere. I am going to order to more for backups.

If you have ever wondered about the War of the Roses, and what all the fighting was about, this is the book for you. You'll be introduced to the main players in a comprehendible way.
