You are absolutely great with help and understanding. Without your help and without your software I would be up a creek without a paddle and with many sleepless nights and would need to take some stress relief pills.

I just received a call from the State Auditor’s office regarding my annual report. He said I get a Gold Star for a perfect submission — he’s never seen a perfect report before. No flaws! I contribute it all to Black Mountain Software.
