RE: Canned Package Suggestions

Yeah, I was thinking about the government rules, too. The last time I
worked on one was when I worked for a software vendor. Seems like every
couple of months there was a new "improved" method from D.C. And guess who
had to read the rule and the Prentice-Hall explanation and, then, implement
it? Which is why, though in principle Fixed Assets is "simple", I prefer a
package that gets updated.

I kind of laughed (to myself, of course) when they told me over the phone
that they only used straight-line. Who does that?! I have a meeting with
them on Friday; perhaps (hopefully) more information will be forthcoming.

Government rules change way too often. Fixed assets was the package we
threw up a stone wall against modifying.
We rather liked the package from Harris Data. I think when we migrated to a
different accounting package Fixed Assets was the last to go.
We migrated to a different package solely to match our ERP package. But
that was a long time ago.

I've been out of the day-to-day programming and I am more of a sysadmin guy
now. Never touched the ERP packages Fixed Assets replacement.
