<b>New Invoices.<br>
<br>

accounting system was initially written by myself in 1999,
shortly after I first commenced trading in Bourke as "Mike's
Computer Consultancy." Since then it's seen many small
changes, but the process for sending statements was painfully
slow and as a result was usually put off for later. Then of
course, there'd be 100 statements to print and fold, followed
by 100 envelopes to try to goad through the printer without
jamming, etc.<br>
<br>
To alleviate that annoyance, I've written a small change so
that the accounting system now includes what it <i>thinks</i>
is the account balance whenever an invoice is written, along
with a count of how many invoices it <i>thinks</i> is due.<br>
<br>
Payments are usually processed once a month, just before
processing the Exetel accounts; so it is possible that it
might say there are invoices owing that have actually been
paid. <br>

<b>Temporary Reduction to Trading Hours.<br>
<br>
</b>On Friday evening (2/12) my partner had a very sudden
onset illness resulting in an ambulance trip, and is now
hospitalised for at least two weeks. As a result, I'll be
operating on reduced hours - probably 10am to 2pm weekdays -
in order to balance work, home and to help keep her sane. My
apologies for the hassle. The good news is that she will
likely make a full recovery.</big></small></font><font
