My wife is a CPA, and she hates the Qbooks remote. It does not have all the features of a typical Qbooks, it's slow (even with high speed internet access) and...

Bob / Ken Just to clarify . . .are we talking about running QuickBooks "remotely" or are we talking about using an "Online" (Remote) version of QuickBooks? On...
Randy, I agree with most of what you say. I'm probably unique- but the only reason I chose the Treo over the other PPC based devices is that the Treo is the...
Thanks Randy. I'm limited in what's available in my area due to location. My location is rural at best and only AT&T/Cingular has coverage which I can live...

That MAY be what Ken is talking about TOO! (wink) It may be just ME that's confused. Yup! . . .If an appraiser is a QuickBooks user . . .They WILL be using...

Michael B, Yes- and I ran into the same thing. I use Cingular due to their rural coverage. Have you considered the Motorolla v551 phone that Cingular has out...
Consider the basic reason for multiple comparables in a report - any individual sale may be affected by motivation of either the buyer or seller and even...
Al, I agree with your statement that "the Market is the Market". The necessity of bracketing of Comparables however is pretty fundamental and is related to...

The concern of underwriters is whether the value is being pushed or not. One of the ways they feel more comfortable is to be able to see that one of the sales...

Dittos. I don't bother with the local "mall shop" Cingular stores. There is one "corporate" owned store about 45 minutes away in the "big city" that has a...
Al: Bracketing of features and GLA is always a good idea - whenever possible. But, like you, I serve many exurban markets and have found direct bracketing of...
Michael, I will echo Michael E's comments regarding the Motorolla 551 bluetooth phone. I have the V600 which is a very similar but older model than the 551....
