Thank you, Carl, that's very helpful. I just need to get familiar with
Quickbooks. How do you use it online? Do you need windows to do so? Is there
a way to use an online tutorial?
I don't know how to use Wine or Crossover, and if I go that route I'll have to
buy the Quickbooks software, too. All this for a job I don't even know if I
want.
