Egg Tax
So I do quite a bit of Accounting Information Systems work (AIS). I always have to write a report that does this or that to comply with some governmental agency or to give the boss the information they want. This is the strangest report I have ever written and I call it the Egg Report. [...]
Windows Mobile App Store
I guess I should check out the Windows Mobile App Store. It does not have the quantity of apps that the iPhone does. I hope to find a few good apps (free) to try out.

QuickBooks Conversion Tool
