Retirement....The best thing I ever did Judd....
As a self employed courier back in the day there were very few decent accounting apps so I just made up lots of excel sheets for this and that. I did my own accounting and VAT, produced invoices and sent in my tax returns every April.
I got very good at cobbling together spreadsheets and databases, all self taught by the way, and even made one that calculated how much diesel I used and how much to charge the customer just by entering the distance.
Now I just make them up for fun, and produce graphs with the stats.
I got my old computer working the other day, it still has Vista as the O/S and it's still got microsoft works, although all my business stuff was in word or excel, there are some good features on works that I haven't found on excel though, and I might have a poke around on it.
